I think I know what happened.
It seems that you have an old (JDS3.1) smf manifest on your system
and possible old gdm config files.  So SUNWgnome-display-mgr-root
could not be installed (check your install log in
/var/sadm/install/logs).  So now you have the old manifest file that
doesn't match your vermillion build for 2 reasons (at least):
 - gdm was moved to /usr/sbin
 - the gdm manifest was moved from application/gdm2-login to
   application/graphical-login/gdm2-login.

So try installing SUNWgnome-display-mgr-root manually.  It will
tell you which files are in conflict.  Remove them (or the package
that includes them) and then try installing SUNWgnome-display-mgr-root
again.
