I guess at some point, you would reach a point where you can't have everything on a single DVD.

  True. Though with compression one DVD can probably contain about 10G of
  software.


Perhaps sometime down the road, you could consider hosting a package repository. What is not on the CD/DVD could be downloaded off the repository.

Perhaps, then, the packages from the BeleniX repository could be used on other Opensolaris distributions (SXCE, SXDE...) which support SVR4 packaging and on Solaris. pkg-get or something similar could be used to get the packages...

To begin with there will be source packaging based on Pkgbuild, JDS CBE and Spec Files Extra repository like Emerge. Binary repository has to be looked at subsequently. pkg-get is already included from 0.5 onwards so Blastwave packages
  can also be used.
