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.
