on Solaris 8 we see:
man -k pkg
pkgadd pkgadd (1m) - transfer software packages to the system
pkgask pkgask (1m) - stores answers to a request script
pkgchk pkgchk (1m) - check package installation accuracy
pkginfo pkginfo (1) - display software package information
pkginfo pkginfo (4) - package characteristics file
pkgmap pkgmap (4) - package contents description file
pkgmk pkgmk (1) - produce an installable package
pkgparam pkgparam (1) - display package parameter values
pkgproto pkgproto (1) - generate prototype file entries for input to pkgmk command
pkgrm pkgrm (1m) - remove a package from the system
pkgtrans pkgtrans (1) - translate package format
look at 'admintool' for gui software administration.
