I completely agree.  In fact, the way I would have done is:

  - don't ship any SVR4 pkg* tools with Nevada/OpenSolaris, ever

SVR4 compatibility is still evolving, but I don't think I would have gone this route.

  - provide tools to semi-automatically convert package payload into
    IPS packages

This already exists, although for publication (see man pkgsend).

  - provide tools to semi-automatically convert package scripts into
    one-off SMF services, i.e. services that execute once and then
    vanish again

This is possible, but it is likely a ways off if it happens.
