Don't attempt to do this because OmniOS delivers some essential 
package content to /opt (e.g. gcc run-time libraries) and you will 
encounter booting problems after an upgrade (I was slightly singed by 
that).  Default OmniOS has /opt in the boot environment so if you move 
it out of the boot environment then the installation will be 
inconsistent.

You should be free to mount on mountpoints within /opt.
