Not having x86 right now, I'm not familiar with 2008.05, but I suspect that if it's installed from something as small as a single CD, there's only runtime stuff (and not all of that!) on the CD, and other things (perhaps development stuff like include files among them) can be installed from the repository. If the IPS package names mostly correspond to the old SVR4 pkg names, then SUNWhea is one of the packages you want (there may be others, like SUNWxwinc, and so on). Someone more familiar with 2008.05 could probably tell you which ones you want, or if you have enough space, you could just install everything from the repository. But even that may not be enough... I've seen other discussions suggesting that building OpenSolaris on 2008.05 was a problem. The obvious solution is that SXCE + SunStudio (11 or 12, depending on whether or not OpenSolaris will build with 12 yet) is pretty much the same thing as SXDE was, except more bleeding edge; indeed, if I read http://opensolaris.org/os/downloads/on/ correctly, SXCE+Studio 11 is the only supported build environment right now (assuming the page is up to date about Studio 11 vs 12). I would speculate that if (when?) the transition from ongoing experiment to future version happens for Indiana (2008.05 and its successors), whatever is needed to be fully self-hosting will have been a part of that. If it hasn't happened yet, I personally would suppose that course of action either hasn't been irrevocably decided, or hasn't proceeded that far along in its implementation yet. (Since AFAIK 2008.05 is still x86-only, it's obvious that the Big Iron can't run it yet, so it can't possibly take over the world yet.) Sincerely, your friendly neighborhood SPARC bigot...
