This is a really nice article.  It concludes that OmniOS owns /opt. 
I also see that pkgsrc owns /opt/local so there can be more owners 
than OmniOS.  I have learned that pkgsrc will automatically install 
services so it makes sense to leave it as part of the boot 
environment.

I was lucky enough to be able to quickly back-track, restore /opt in 
root, and retry.  It is all working now.
