Well:
http://www.sunfreeware.com/faq.html#q7
suggests various ways to install the packages in non-standard locations;
they're talking in particular about moving /usr/local -> /opt, but it might be
just as suitable for your home dir.
However I don't know about solaris packaging, so that's where I'll have to
stop offering suggestions now!
