You know, that is one of the key ideas behind Blastwave. If you have a core install of Solaris 8 ( or 9 or 10 or ... ) then you can install the binary packages and not be dependant on some other thing that may or may not be in /usr/sfw or /usr/local or /usr/foo. The problem is that people have fits when they see that a package CSWfoo drags in the national science museum history of dependencies *because* we can NOT depend on any damn thing in /usr/sfw or whereever. Total independance can mean that you drag a LOT of stuff around. Hence the vast size of the Blastwave package dependency list.
