You get /usr/dt with every Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 installation, regardless of which metacluster you select. You even get it if you select "Core System Support", which doesn't even have a Window system. In 2.5.1, you got SUNWdtcor with SUNWCuser (End User Support) and above. CDE was unbundled in 2.5.1, so you might run across a /usr/dt directory on a system without CDE installed. You'd have links to ToolTalk and PAM stuff, but not much else. I don't have any pre-2.5.1 images at home, so I can't check them.
