I suggested on smf-discuss a while back that cron should become an SMF
restarter, so that cron jobs can be specified using SMF manifests. That
makes adding and removing them be the same problem as adding and
removing any other SMF service.

Can anyone publish their package into pkg.opensolaris.org?
No, it is only for the OpenSolaris project.
Lets say I distribute my IPS package to the customer for their use
and I plan to do it by giving the clients a script which publishes
my application package files to their corresponding repository server.
That sounds a slightly unusual way to distribute your packages at
present, mostly because moving packages between repositories is a bit
awkward.
I think the expected procedure at the moment is for your organization
to set up their own repository, for you to publish your packages into
that, and for your clients to install packages directly from that.
Setting up a repository is easy and well documented - see the man page
for pkg.depotd. OTOH I don't know how easy it is to set up a secure
public-facing repository.
My preinstall and postinstall scripts did a few preliminary checks
on the user environment and also it added cron jobs. I assume that I
will be able to achieve this through SMF.
No existing actions are provided which manipulate cron jobs, so you'd
need to figure out something yourself here using SMF.
Cheers,
Chris
