    Just tested and it works.

    Searching for in.tftpd

    # pkg search in.tftpd
    INDEX      ACTION VALUE             PACKAGE
    basename   file   usr/sbin/in.tftpd pkg:/service/network/tftp at 0.5.11-0.151012

    # pkg publisher
    PUBLISHER                             TYPE     STATUS   URI
    omnios                                origin   online
    http://pkg.omniti.com/omnios/r151012/

    So you should just install the tftp package in the omnios publisher
    and then activate the tftp service by editing inetd.conf and adding
    the line:

    tftp    dgram   udp6    wait    root    /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
    in.tftpd -s /tftpboot

    and then running the "inetconv" command. This will create an SMF
    service, network/tftp/udp6.

    Create  a /tftpboot dir in your omnios host and there you go. Edit the
    pxe files like you are used to.
