At least for OpenSolaris, I think a slightly better answer is to look
at the package version, rather than something embedded in the binary.
Something like this:

  % pkg search /kernel/drv/e1000g

That's the version that you'll be using when filing bugs and
determining what gets upgraded, and this will become a lot more
important when there are more things delivering directly to the pkg
repository and not necessarily going through the same regular build
schedule.

(In other words, seeing "snv_97" at some point won't necessarily tell
you what's the newest available for your system, because packages will
be versioned independently.)
