Yes, there is a commandline utility to install packages from an UC url.
The CLI command "pkg" allows you to download packages.
See:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/IpsBestPractices/Image+Packaging+System+Best+Practices
and http://opensolaris.org/sc/src/pkg/gate/src/man/pkg.1.txt

This utility should be in the same directory as updatetool.
