Not really. The process largely hasn't changed - I believe there are some developer docs floating around on the Documentation CG pages. That said, things are a tad more difficult now; since the release is running behind, IPS packages have not been updated since snv_134. My first suggestion would be to update to snv_134 and start there. If all you are interested in is running nightly(1), I would suggest installing the osnet package and building your tools directly (i.e. usr/src/tools). I'm not sure if there have been any major dependency changes between snv_134 and the tip, so YMMV. I had no issues with this process doing full nightlies on both x86 and SPARC for snv_142. If you are just interested in uts, the process is slightly less onerous - you can simply skip installing osnet and build the tools. If your interest is to simply document the process, I would contact the Documentation CG - they have already amassed a large amount of documentation, and I'm sure they would welcome any who are willing to improve the process.
