Have you taken a look at the Gentoo portage system? I'm particularly fond of that, but I think with some reworking it would be a nice fit for OpenSolaris and the possibility of even building an Open Solaris kernel with your favorite tool chain.
I think the portage tools could get a boost by being ported to C/C++ though from Python (don't get me wrong I like Python, but....) I know that some guys over on the Gentoo side of things have ported 'portage' somewhat to Solaris, but it seems it needs a lot of work. Or am I asking for trouble on this? Traditionally I've used Blastwave.org when setting up Solaris servers, but as nice as it is, it is not quite as powerful as Portage.
