I believe the xorg.conf is automatically generated based on what is
detected (the /etc/X11/.xorg.conf is what it figures out).  There is
an Xorg flag that should allow it to just probe and generate an
xorg.conf file that can be modified.  If /etc/X11/xorg.conf exists, I
believe that will override any auto-probing Xorg does.

(as root) 'dladm show-dev' (also show-link I believe) should list all
the known network interfaces.  On solaris, interfaces are named for
the driver used (i.e. if your card is supported by the bge driver,
your interfaces will be bge0, bge1, etc.).  You can then use 'ifconfig
<name> plumb' to prepare it for an IP address (if you wish to manually
configure it).  Or you can do 'svcs network/physical'.  If
network/physical:nwam is enabled (I can't remember if Indiana enabled
this by default or not), it should attempt to do all of this + dhcp to
obtain an IP address once a link is detected on the card.   If it
isn't enabled, the steps are 'svcadm disable network/physical:default;
svcadm enable network/physical:nwam'.  If the dladm doesn't show
anything, then no drivers are loaded that appear to recognize your
card.  If that's the case, if you happen to have more details about
it, there are a number of 3rd party drivers that aren't bundled with
the core OS that might need to be installed.

Yes and no.  There are add-on bits (such as pkg-get + blastwave) that
has similar functionality.  The image packaging project also is
looking to address this (among several other issues).

Not yet.  Right now there is only one console.  There is a project in
the works to add such support.  Last I heard, there are some preview
bits you can grab (if you're adventerous), but no idea what the
current state of the project is (if you go to www.opensolaris.org, it
should be on the list of projects).
