Solaris is probably of interest, but it has been decades ago I worked
with it in production. So, I am not sure wether there is a standard package
format for Solaris. If so, it would be of course nice to accompany
the .deb and .rpm with some Solaris packages.
Apart from that, currently Solaris does not belong the the test
platforms for compilation. I have no idea whether OpenVAS compiles
on Solaris.
I am pretty sure, there are problems for HP-UX, Irix and others. We neglected
or even removed support for them as there were no people in our group
dedicated to these.

It would be absolutely great if you could e.g. take care of the Solaris
security alerts and write (perhaps automacically generate) corresponding
local security NASL checks for this platform like the Debian family in our feed.
