Is the OI151 kernel going to be updated anytime soon?
I don't know - I'm also on the outside of the project core. I think the idea was to have roughly monthly (or quarterly?) dev-releases, and some time has passed since early May ;)
Alternatively, if I have an OI151a4 machine running well on a SuperMicro machine, is there another Illumos distro I could move to w/o too much pain?
Technically yes, you can follow the How To Build Illumos wiki page and build your own kernel from up-to-date bits, while the rest would remain the same OI at your discretion (you can also rebuild that according to a different manual). You'd need to ensure that your build's number is higher than the installed packages (described in Wiki) and wait a while for the compilation to complete. The process is quite straightforward, I think - I spent some time earlier revising this wiki page in places where there was something to elaborate on in greater detail (now seen as child pages).
