I did this by accident before when I selected to install 'subversion' 
(to get a client) and was surprised to see it install Apache.  At the 
time I thought that it might conflict with some Apache offered by 
OmniOS.

Pksrc is indeed quite a lot of packages.  It is a different package 
dependency system than IPS so it is possible to create 
excessive/conflicting installs since there is some overlap.

Another possibility is to create one's own IPS repository with 
packages built from source code (e.g. SFE pkgbuild 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pkgbuild/) and published as described 
at the bottom of http://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/Packaging.  This 
requires more work, but could benefit the community.

The various SFE package collections I see targeting OmniOS are small.
