OpenSolaris has FAM and the 'port' feature to allow for notification of
changes to files and directories:
man -s 3C port_create
http://arc.opensolaris.org/caselog/LSARC/2007/398/
It doesn't seem to have notifications on open/read and other sorts of
events, if that's what you need.
Perhaps someone should port Inotify to OpenSolaris. It looks like this
is a frequently-discussed issue. A quick google search turned up:
