Hi GB, If you're looking to move to a new OpenSolaris derived distro (i.e. based on illumos, which is where all the kernel/core userland development takes place across all distros) then there are many choices besides OpenIndiana.
I'd strongly recommend looking at SmartOS or OmniOS. SmartOS is developed commercially by Joyent, a large cloud computing provider in the US. OmniOS is also developed commercially by OmniTI, a fairly large IT services company. SmartOS may make a good choice as you're from a BSD background, it uses pkgsrc for packages. OpenIndiana was started as an open source community developed distro similar to Debian, but due to a lack of interest there are only a few developers working on it part time, so updates are slow, and limited in scope due to the size of the project.
