Actually that isn't true.  There was a big effort for Solaris 10 and the 
vast majority of stuff is signed (there were a few packaging and other 
bugs that mean't it couldn't be 100% but it is close).

While it isn't an issue for pkg(5) the software it may (depending on 
Alexander's response) be an issue for stuff that is in the 
pkg.opensolaris.org repository versus the SXCE builds.
