Indeed, from filesystem(5):

     /usr/local

         Not part of the  SVR4-based  Solaris  distribution.  The
         /usr  directory is exclusively for software bundled with
         the Solaris operating  system.  If  needed  for  storing
         machine-local  add-on  software,  create  the  directory
         /opt/local  and  make  /usr/local  a  symbolic  link  to
         /opt/local.  The  /opt  directory  or  filesystem is for
         storing add-on software to the system.
