Could someone advise me the best way to constrain an application from 
performing unwanted activities? (e.g. if someone in an irc chan was able to 
hijack my irssi app to read personal files).

I currently run apps like irssi as a dedicated, unprivileged user. On OpenBSD, 
I've used systrace to define am irssi policy permitting only read/write of the 
configuration file and network traffic to approved irc servers.

I've seen the FGAP project underway (which I believe will give me that 
systrace-like functionality) - are there any other ways of constraining the 
capabilities of specific applications within opensolaris?

Many thanks!
