blastwave installs all its packages in /opt/csw

I dont think you installed yours in /opt/csw :-)
"old one" refers to "older blastwave packages"

If you really meant, "how do I try out an older version of a blastwave
package, and a newer version";

ideally, newer blastwave packages are always an improvement over old ones,
otherwise the maintainer would not update the package.
If you find a case where the newer one is worse than the old one, you
should file a bug against the package, on http://www.blastwave.org/bugtrack/
The maintainer should then release a newer "new" version, with your issue
resolved.

Note: Followups set to comp.unix.solaris only ;-)
