Joyent used to have some docs on getting Oracle XE running inside SmartOS. Obviously there are issues with the lack of official support but the license issue mentioned is not necessarily one of them. There are plenty of ways to run a legal instance of Oracle without licensing by CPU (named user licensing, developer licensing, possibly application specific and embedded software licensing as well), and if you aren't licensing by CPU, then I'm pretty sure it doesn't really matter what type of partitioning you are using.
