Although not directly related to your original question, you might want
to know that NetBSD's pkgsrc (the equivalent to FreeBSD's ports) runs on
SunOS, it even runs on Linux. That could help you with having up to date
software on the Sun box. Check:  http://www.netbsd.org/zoularis/

        Of course it runs NetBSD!
