Yes, you're missing the /etc/hostname.{ifname} file, in
your case it's probably /etc/hostname.nge0.
You need something like
echo 192.168.0.1 > /etc/hostname.nge0
and Solaris will attempt to plumb interface {ifname}, and
assigns it the ip4 address contained in the
/etc/hostname.{ifname} file

Boot the kernel with the same "-r" option.
With OpenSolaris / current Solaris Express you have to edit
the grub boot command line and add the "-r" boot option.
But you don't need that any more, because you've already
been able to manually plumb and configure the NIC device.
