Since VMware will allow for a Linux host and Brandz supports Linux, I plan to try to install a VMware host in a Brandz environment. Although I haven't yet attempted this, perhaps it's worth a try for the occasional 'doz app? [iTunes!!]
Good thought, but VMware on Linux builds/links kernel modules and installs them there. I believe they're not Open Source, so the likelyhood of being able to find a way to make this work in a BrandZ environment on OpenSolaris is slim to none.
Another alternative I've considered is something like CodeWeavers CrossOver 
Office in a Brandz Linux zone.  I don't know for certain, but I'd imagine this 
solution is basically WINE on Linux with Solaris x86 supports, so this may be 
less beneficial.
That one I believe is far more likely to be fruitful, but the application availability is a bit more sketchy.

p.s.: I too would like to see a decent iTunes like program on OpenSolaris.
