In particular, I believe there is a pkgsrc bootstrap targeted
specifically for use in the SmartOS global zone, available at:
http://pkgsrc.joyent.com/install-on-illumos/#tools-install
(make sure you click the "64-bit tools (SmartOS GZ)" tab)
If this is missing software that you need for some management purpose
in the global zone, it's possible that the pkgsrc folks can add more
things to the set!
Cheers.
