I have X11 (without twm installed) from pkgsrc which is enough to run 
and compile X11 programs.  It is not clear to me if you want the 
server-side of X11, or want to use XDM, or if X11-client only is ok.

These seem to be the applicable packages according to pkgin:

libICE-1.0.9         Inter Client Exchange (ICE) library for X

I have seen screen shots of graphical native desktops running on 
"OmniOS" so some people have taken it that far.
