I hate to say it; but, as a last ditch effort, you could also install the CSW repository under /opt from either Blastwave or OpenCSW.
"Hate to say" because the CSW repository can have a fair bit of duplication of existing packages; that, are dependencies to what you may be installing. Also, these repositories use the old PKG format, and are not IPS. Hmmm, just checking BlastWave, it looks like they're introducing a new, stripped-down, more maintained package set around the /opt/bw directory. ( https://www.blastwave.org/wiki/display/BWSTACK/BWTree+Release+Announcement) But, Blastwave is still providing a CSW repository, so if you're going to try one of these, make sure to create a backup/alternate boot environment, so you can revert to a clean-state, and/or revert to another CSW repository. The CSW repository will make additions and modifications to files in your existing system configuration directories. (ie. /etc/opt/csw & /var/opt/csw); so a clean boot environment, is probably the best way to manage your evaluation between implementing the two CSW repositories. Of course, compiling from source would be required, if none of the sources of potential packages identified in this thread work-out for you.
