Well...this was how I solved the issue in an "elegant" way :-) :

My USB drive was mounted on /media/LIVEUSB, and my machine is
"battlelloyd-o", then...

root at battlelloyd-o:~# mkdir /media/LIVEUSB/repo

root at battlelloyd-o:~# pkg info SUNWgcc
          Name: SUNWgcc
       Summary: gcc - The GNU C compiler
      Category: Development/C
         State: Installed
     Publisher: opensolaris.org
       Version: 3.4.3
 Build Release: 5.11
        Branch: 0.111
Packaging Date: Fri May  8 15:47:17 2009
          Size: 79.17 MB
          FMRI:
pkg://opensolaris.org/SUNWgcc at 3.4.3,5.11-0.111:20090508T154717Z


root at battlelloyd-o:~# pkgrecv -s http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev
-d /media/LIVEUSB/repo SUNWgcc at 3.4.3,5.11-0.111:20090508T154717Z
(same with other packages, dependencies, libraries, etc.)

Then moved the USB stick to the destination machine, configured a local
repository with "svcadm enable application/pkg/server", then added the
local repository with "pkg set-authority -O http://localhost MyRepo",
and then installed with pkg install, as usual.

There is a community behind this...let's (all of us and the members of
our local communities) code for a even better product!
