add disk or reinstall
I am not sure of you experience level, so I will give a simple explanation.
In general, you will need to add a disk or remove existing software. Cleaning up your /opt directory, is tricky because that is typically where your applications load.
The best advice is to add disk. If you can't do that the only other way might be to take a backup of your root OS volume and re-install your OS and give more space to your /opt.
The ideal way to do a system is have separate volumes for /, /var, /opt, /usr, and /home. This way you can do exactly what you are asking without affecting the OS.

Hey!
I'm thinking we should change the toolbar to "opt in" and have it off for members by default?

vxbootsetup
vxbootsetup(1M) vxbootsetup(1M) NAME
vxbootsetup - set up system boot information on a Veritas Volume Manager disk SYNOPSIS
/etc/vx/bin/vxbootsetup [-g diskgroup] [medianame ... ] DESCRIPTION
The vxbootsetup utility configures physical disks so that they can be used to boot the system. Before vxbootsetup is called to configure a disk, the required volumes, standvol, rootvol and swapvol (and optionally, dumpvol) must be created on the disk. All of these volumes must be contiguous with only one subdisk. The -g option may be used to specify the boot disk group. If no medianame arguments are specified, all disks that contain usable mirrors of the root, swap, /usr and /var volumes are configured to be bootable. If medianame arguments are given, only the disks that are associated with the specified disk names are configured to be bootable. vxbootsetup requires that: o The root volume must be named rootvol and must have a usage type of root. o The swap volume must be named swapvol and must have a usage type of swap. o The volumes containing /usr and /var (if any) must be named usr and var, respectively. See the chapter "Recovery from Boot Disk Failure" in the Veritas Volume Manager Troubleshooting Guide for detailed information on how the system boots and how VxVM impacts the system boot process. The vxmirror, vxrootmir, and vxresize utilities call vxbootsetup automatically. If you use vxassist, or vxmake and vxplex to create mirrors of the root volume on a disk, you must run vxbootsetup explicitly to make the disk bootable. ARGUMENTS
medianame Specifies the disk name (disk media name) of a VM disk that is to be configured as bootable. SEE ALSO
