Apologies for the non-OpenSolaris question!
Does Solaris 9 support jumbo frames, specifically on the built in
gigabit ethernet interfaces on the V440 server? The company I work
for has just bought one and unfortunately we cannot run Solaris 10
on it as our application vendor doesn't support it.
I believe that we only support this on NICs added to the system. There are [maybe not so] minor
differences between the ce interface on the gigaswift cards and those built onto the system
motherboards.
I am trying to verify this, and will update if I hear back differently.

Those are Cassini Ethernet (ce) drivers, which do support jumbo frames
-- though you may need a patch first.

Have you tried configuring it? You have to set "accept-jumbo" in the
ce.conf file and can set it via ndd, and then (after reloading the
driver or using ndd) use ifconfig's 'mtu' option to set the desired
MTU. You can put that option in your /etc/hostname.ceX file. The
user's guide tells all:
