Currently, it shows everything.  I'm not sure what the plans are for remote
searches, but I know that for local searches, the fact that it shows
variants that aren't installed is a bug that will be fixed in build 109.

You can look at the manifest for the package via the BUI, and search for it
that way.  You can also pull the entire package with pkgrecv, and search
through the manifest that it grabs for you.  But, at least right now, pkg
search shows that libXfont.so.1 is available on SPARC for builds 106-108.
So I'm not sure why they're not seeing it.  Does "pkg verify SUNWxwfsw"
show any errors?
