Only if you require authentication via LDAP.  The Solaris CIFS service
authenticates AD domain users using the NETLOGON service.

The Solaris CIFS service provides both domain member server and
standalone operation.  Documentation is here:

The CIFS service should work with Samba 3.x, and later, domain
controllers.  Samba 2.x PDC should also be okay but it had a quirky
NETR retry requirement and I don't think we have included it in
regression testing for a long time.
