It should be possible to install first Solaris Express and then Fedora. I've tried doing that with RHEL and it worked but pleas be aware of a few things. 1) Sun does not offer the grub patches for Solaris VTOC and UFS anywhere public. In the GRUB sources it is said that the patches can be found on the boot.eng system. It is most probably an internal system. 2) Sun also has other patches applied to their grub build. Some patches are for a working UNDI support in GRUB (I loved them for that one).
If you are interested, I can give you the RHEL4 RPM that I have for GRUB. It supports i386 and x86_64, network booting using UNDI/PXE (somthing that is missing from the Red Hat builds) and solaris UFS and VTOC plus a ton of other patches I was able to reverse-engineer from their CVS. It's not supported by Red Hat, Fedora, Sun or even myself, but it does the job over here for both network booting and multi-boot Solaris/Linux and Windows. I personally used the patches especially for a network deployment system that allows our testers to install Windows XP/2000/2003 in different languages and with different service pack levels, with the drivers and hotfixes already included plus Fedora Core, RHEL, SLES, OpenSUSE, SuSE, NLD and Solaris. We do a lot of software testing over here and the only thing missing is MacOS support.
