Yup, lib/pkgconfig is the standard location on Solaris as well.
To these i would add
bin/${ARCH64}
lib/${ARCH64}
lib/${ARCH64}/pkgconfig
lib/${ARCH64}/plugins
for the 64-bit equivalents [ where ${ARCH64} can be either amd64 or
sparcv9 ].
But then there's random stuff:

This works for me (everything under share/), and it's pretty standard.
I would include qtdemo under bin/ and bin/${ARCH64} respectively.
I think /opt/foss is a great idea.
