You say that multiple versions of mysql can exist on the system at the same
time, and the versioning in /usr/mysql supports that. But you don't have
any versioning in /etc/mysql or /var/mysql. Are multiple versions expected
to share those directories?
Also, would it make sense to put links to some of the executables (maybe
just mysql?) in /usr/bin?

You might want to follow postrgres' lead here and use
svc:/application/database/mysql
Are you planning on having an SMF instance per version, once there are
multiple versions?

Why are you delivering .a files? And what use are .la files on Solaris?
