I don't know about Tuxedo, but I thought a number of people had installed the
Oracle Database on OpenSolaris 2009.06 - what makes you think it's not possible?

If we called it "Solaris 11 Alpha" (which we're not, but if we did),
would you be complaining it was not yet a proven replacement for Solaris 10?
It's under development towards becoming a full enterprise ready release - no
one ever said it's done yet. Expecting it to be proven before it's finished
just seems silly.
