I meant listing them in the depend file, declaring the dependency.

I assumed that not depending on SUNW packages was for a different
reason, but I guess we never discussed it.  I thought that we don't
depend on SUNW because, for example, /usr/lib/sparcv9/libz.so.1 is in
SUNWzlibx on Solaris 9 and in SUNWzlib on Solaris 10.  If you depend
on SUNWzlibx, you can't install on Solaris 10 because of an unmet
dependency.

It's just an example, there are more of these files.  Here's an
example list for sparc[1].
