I know I'm late with it.
But here is the 'winning' solution for my earlier question on this list.

----------Lucas Bunyan said:
There is a sundocument that talks about removing a pathc whiel booted from
cdrom. I am sure that you can adapt this for the pkgrm command.
the document numnber is 50624. You do not need a sunsolve login id to
get to this document. go to sunsolve.sun.com and search for this document.
-----------------------------

And indeed the chgroot command described in this document allowed me to
remove the package in question and return the (backup) system disks to a
working state.
(needed the copy /etc/mnttab trick from that doc as well.

Thanks again to everybody that responded.

Bart
