I seem to remember that there were some issues with the Qt 4 libraries
on Solaris, and I don't know if they have been fixed. But you might post
a question to the development list on this issue. We have a developer on
Solaris, though I can't remember who it is now.
Indeed blastwave provides only 3.3.3 binary packages of Qt and sunfreeware
3.3.4.
Looks bad for something beyond LyX 1.4.5.1.
There is a note in the Qt plattform notes about problems with gcc 3.2.*

Maybe you can compile it on your own with a decent gcc.
I know Enrico's managed to get Qt 4 going in some form on Solaris. He
could perhaps provide help if needed.
