svcadm definitely exists with SunOS 5.11.

rc.d scripts are also still supported as an alternative.

If you are unsure about where to put your script, use run level 3 with a late run, eg:
/etc/rc3.d/S99myLocalService

Don"t forget to set stop scripts too:

/etc/rc0.d/K00myLocalService , /etc/rc2.d/K00myLocalService and /etc/rc3.d/K00myLocalService.
