This is definitely what you want to do but if for some reason you
can't, you'll want to have copies of:

/etc/opt/csw
/opt/csw/
/var/opt/csw

The reason to keep these, in addition to doing the manual pkgrm/pkgadd
that Dago suggested is that it may make it easier to revert configs in
the event that the update triggers a migration from /opt/csw/etc to
/etc/opt/csw as it most surely will with the package set you listed.

This is _way_ more work than using a boot environment though.

Thanks
-Ben
