In version 1.9.1, a script is included that can build CSW catalogs
from SUNW packages, it allows to install SUNW packages in a more
modular way that doesn't change pkgutil itself. The previous plans
were to allow this directly from pkgutil but unfortunately I could
never test that enough to release it.

Please give the script a try and see if it fits your needs. For
OpenCSW it's packaged in pkgutilplus and can be found here after
installation: /opt/csw/bin/build_sun_catalog.
