I see that Sun has released Solaris 10. I suppose I should order a copy and see if I can have fun watching yet another OS fail to install on my machine.
As for package installation, I highly recommend blastwave as your preferred package source. I used to use the packages from sunfreeware, but I discovered that most of them don't set their runtime library paths properly. The blastwave packages don't suffer from this problem. And that means you don't have to futz around with $LD_LIBRARY_PATH settings.
Oh, and get smpatch for automatic OS patches/updates (assuming it's not installed by default).
