I've not used it for pulling from SmartOS/KVM, but I've had great success w/ the VMWare converter in the past doing P2V, both linux and windows. This was in the RHEL/CentOS 5-ish/ Server 2003/2008 era, with a VMWare support contract, mind you, so I don't know what your situation is, but if possible I'd give the VMWare converter a shot first. Cleaner than a dumb copy, especially the windows side as it automated much of the cleanup in regards to emulated hardware and drivers.
