That's really just a loopback image with an ext3/reiserfs or xfs, you
can mount it in a usual way, just like an ISO or initrd image:

 mount /path/to/file.img /some/path -o loop

After that, it's just "cp -ax", or "rsync -axH" (so it'll save some
space by preserving hardlinks).

Sorry, but I'm completely unfamiliar with solaris virt-install utility,
but it's name suggests installing, while you have (or can easily
create otherwise) a working rootfs - there's no need to "install"
anything at all, so prehaps it's just not the right tool for the task.

While native OS tools are probably made to ease the maintenance, you
can always write configuration file by hand (or use one from jailtime
tarball), then use xen-tools to create domU from it.
