Of course it depends onthe developer/packager to an extent(whether or
not they follow standards). Thereare the occasional packages that
install under /opt yet also put stuff under /usr/lib, /usr/share, etc.
Fortunately that doesn't happen too often. On our Solaris boxen, we have
stuff in just about every location- wherever the packager wanted it to
go. Usually the packaging tools keep track of it, but not always...

There is a BIG difference:
Applications in /opt/ are in ONE subdirectory, whereas in /usr/local/ they
are spread over many subdirectories.
To remove an application under /opt you can simply "rm /opt/$APPLICATION"
This is not possible for a /usr/local/ installation.
But Solaris (SysV based) used /opt
Also HPUX, AIX, OSF/1, etc...
