Should be no problem. Both the 32- and 64-bit parts of
the OS are installed, and grub decides at boot time if
the 64-bit kernel can be booted; when 64-bit is not
available, it'll boot 32-bit.
Btw. the problem with the existing primary linux swap
fdisk partition is that opensolaris uses the linux swap
as installation target. Maybe it still is using that linux
swap as installation target, and fails because it runs
out of space?
What is listed by "zpool list" while the installer runs?
Does it show the expected amount of space in the
SIZE column?

No, both 32- and 64-bit is installed.
Is that /.cdrom/boot/amd64/x86.microroot file readable?
Try to read all file data; from a terminal window run:
dd if=/.cdrom/boot/amd64/x86.microroot of=/dev/null bs=32k
In case there are no read error, try to decompress the data
with g(un)zip:
gzip -dc /.cdrom/boot/amd64/x86.microroot > /dev/null
Neither dd nor gzip should report errors.
