Many thanks to Somesh Nagthan, Hemant, Elizabeth Lee, Steve Wills ,Ramini
Gabriel and Bryan L. Moore.
for quick and informative responses.
The short answer is : Don't remove those files unless you want to loose
control of system software.
Thanks!

All the package administration tools (pkgrm, pkgadd, ecc)
depends on the contents of that directory.
Removing it means to loose control of the system software...
Removing them is probably a bad idea if you plan on administering the box
cleanly in the future, installing patches, etc. I'm guessing you need disk
space in /var? Try moving the sadm dir to somewhere with more space and
making
a symlink to it.
better leave /var/sadm/pkg alone -- in fact, leave /var/sadm alone.
Do not touch /var/sadm directory.
the package administration commands use this directory.....so i would
strictly advise you to NOT mess with it at all.
I believe when you remove the record of it being installed, if you ever do a
pkgrm on the package, it comes back saying no package of that name
exists....
