I don't know how IPS actually works, but I can forward you to the Wikipedia page for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_Packaging_System

You can browse through that until someone on the list forwards you to OpenIndiana-specific instructions (if they exist - OI tends to forward to OpenSolaris documentation a lot).
