I've successfully run Hadoop on Solaris 5.10 (on Intel). The path included /usr/ucb so whoami was picked up correctly.
Satoshi, you say you added /usr/ucb to you path too, so I'm puzzled why you get a LoginException saying "whoami: not found" - did you export your changes to path? I've also managed to test and build Hadoop on Solaris. From 0.17 there's support for building the native libraries on Solaris, which are useful for performance (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3123).
