The right answer is probably a config method for smf.  That's a bigger
project that we have time for right now.

For now, I'd like to suggest the following:

Each package that wishes to install a sysidconfig method
delivers a symbolic link to it in /etc/.sysidconfig.dir.  We modify
/lib/svc/method/sysidtool-net to first rebuild the /etc/.sysidconfig.apps
file using the target of the files in/etc/.sysidconfig.dir  if its 
modification
time  is newer than /etc/.sysidconfig.apps, prior to invoking sysidconfig.

Packages could then deliver the symbolic links and no post-install or
other special actions would be required.
