Honestly, I am not sure I have the time and my clients aren't willing to 
analyze each of these reports to figure out which is important or not. In 
addition, I look at:
http://secunia.com/advisories/56670/

and it asks for me to login/signup, which I am not interesting in doing either.

Is it possible to install+bootstrap these pkgsrc packages into a directory 
other than /opt/pkg? (will things break, e.g. SMF manifests) One way I think 
might help with upgrades if I can run multiple pkgsrc in a single zone?
Something like:
/data/2014Q1
/data/2014Q2
/opt/pkg -> /data/2014Q1

Perhaps then we could migrate from one set to another easily otherwise having 
to re-provision means that kind of requires a ton of other steps.

Anyhow, thanks for responding! I appreciate the efforts being put into this 
currently.
