$ pkg info -d lftp
lftp-4.4.1 depends on:
expat-2.0.1_2
gettext-0.18.1.1
libiconv-1.14

$

All of these packages exist either in core OmniOS or in the omniti-ms
publisher (which OmniTI maintains). This suggests that the dependencies
are in place for lftp. A pain point, however, may be that lftp is
written in C++. You should be able to install the dependencies listed
above and at least give it a try using the instructions found here:
http://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/PackagingForOmniOS. Please feel free
to ask questions about that document so that we can improve it.
