Martin Moeller from Cobalt Aid has put together a small script which can 
download and install all missing patches in the proper order for most Sun 
Cobalt servers. 

You can even choose to ignore specific packages for selected architectures 
which you want to ignore. Furthermore you can specify extra packages from 
third parties which you want to install.

The file is called Updater.tgz and it's available off Martin's website:

http://cobalt-aid2.lindist.dk/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownload&cid=4

I usually use his script when I have to bring a freshly restored RaQ to the 
most recent patchlevel. 

Even if that script isn't what you're looking for, it might give you some 
ideas for your own purposes.
