I am not a OpenSolaris developer. So I can't speak for them. It is possible to 
build your own custom DVD with Distribution Constructor.

There is a KDE version called Korona:

I agree it would be a good thing to have a DVD LiveCD/Installer especially in 
countries where bandwidth is slow and expensive.

A lot of reviewers of the live cd criticize OpenSolaris for not having 
OpenOffice on it. Having some cool tools on a livecd would lead to a more 
favourable first impression. 

Finally it is worth noting that it is possible to set up the whole Repo on a 
stick:

Again useful for bandwidth challenged places.

It is probably a bit much for DVD's of the development builds. But a DVD of the 
2009.06 release build with productivity and development tools would be of value 
to a a lot of users. It would be good at Conferences and Trade Shows.
