So it sounds like there is more work to be done.

To really fit into the Solaris way of doing things, one should have
several packages:

-- a separate package for the 64-bit components (kernel module), to
be omitted on pure 32-bit installs (and for OpenAFS there is the
additional choice of full vs. nonfs modules, which may justify another
pair of packages);

-- separate packages for the client and server utilities (i.e. one
should be able to not even install the *server binaries on clients);

-- one or more separate packages for the development stuff (header
files, static libs, etc.)

Many Solaris package sets are also split along *u/*r (User/Root) lines,
with the *r package usually including startup scripts and/or
configuration files. I'm not sure this is useful for OpenAFS,
though (unlike the previous suggestions, which will help conserve
disk space).

Look at Solaris 9's SUNWnfs{c,s}{r,u,x} split for possible guidance.
