The problem turned out to be the bad /etc/init.d/exim4 file again. Tim (rootard) helped me figure this out a while ago, for some reason on line 24 the -r is changed to a -x. I copied over the /etc/init.d/exim4 file from a running Debain machine and svcadm clear svc:/network/exim4 got it running again.
I then did an apt-clone dist-upgrade, selected option 1, rebooted and selected the bottom upgrade checkpoint option but it hung on the Nexenta splash screen for 30 minutes so I declared defeat (for now). Unfortunately I can't hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 and see what's going on. I rebooted back into the first option and it came up. It's pretty cool to just be able to revert from a botched apt-get upgrade.
