It's possible but will require you to build your own version of SmartOS. Off the top of my head you'll need to include at least the xsvc driver, as well as pre-populating the required users. It's not particularly difficult, but will require quite a bit of trial and error until you have everything necessary baked into your image. For what it's worth I use Tribblix as my test distribution for the illumos pkgsrc packages, it's a nice small distribution that generally gets out of the way and lets me focus on testing our packages to ensure they work across illumos distributions. My test usually involves installing a full set of Xorg and some desktop environment which works fine so that is certainly one alternative option.
