There's nothing similar at the moment in the core of Solaris.  It's
being worked on however as we investigate what the future of package
management on OpenSolaris (and by extension Solaris) will be.

That said, if you want to add 3rd party packages there's
http://blastwave.org which uses a tool called pkg-get which is similar
in function to apt-get in that it will install packages and their
dependencies.

Managing packages in the core of Solaris are done via pkgadd, pkgrm.
They don't have any support for installling package dependencies
automatically.

Cheers,

Glenn
