I have asked similar question for Linux RPM (Adding License Agreement in RPM package). Now i have same query for Solaris package. I could not get any helpful link / details if it is possible. But I have found a package which does exactly the same thing but how it has been implemented, its not mentioned.
$pkgadd -d . SUNWsamfsr SUNWsamfsu
Processing package instance from
Sun SAM and Sun SAM-QFS software Solaris 10 (root)(i386) 4.6.5,REV=5.10.2007.03.12
Sun SAMFS - Storage & Archiving Management File System
Copyright (c) 2007 Sun Microsystems, Inc.

-----------------------------------------------------
In order to install SUNWsamfsr, you must accept the terms of
the Sun License Agreement.
Enter "y" if you do, "n" if you don't, or "v" to view agreement. y
-The administrator commands will be executable by root only (group bin).
If this is the desired value, enter "y". If you want to change
the specified value enter "c". y
...

Any ideas how to implement such thing for Solaris package?
I have found a way to solve it.
The self-extracting binary is the way to do it.
Create a shell script which will first dipslay the end user license and take user input whether user agrees or not.
Once user agrees, extract the binary (solaris package file) embed in the shell script and install it.
To embed installer pacakge, first add a marker lets say PKG_DATA:
shell script contents
exit 0
PKG_DATA
Append the package file:
cat pkg_file_name >> your_shell_script
Extract the package and install it:
ARCHIVE=awk '/^__PKG_DATA__/ {print NR + 1; exit 0; }' $0
outname=install.$$
tail -n+$ARCHIVE $0 > $outname
echo "Extracting..."
pkgadd -d $outname
rm -f $outname #we dont need it anymore
exit 0
PKG_DATA
