Eventually, after lots of cursing, and werdz getting a good proportion of the way into porting nexanta to sparc, we decided to move to OpenBSD. It's a system that myself and werdz have a reasonable amount of experience with, it has a reasonable packaging system (but as phaxx said, apt was spoiling us anyway), just work (TM) on Sun_4v, seems to be well looked after, and is just generally amazing. It's lack of PAM/NSS support is a bit of a pain, but YPldap appears to be doing the job, without any major hicups.  We're still compiling our own apache, but that's a minor thing compared to the million and one things we'd have to look after on solaris.
