If you can convice SUN to pay for the porting of reiserfs to SUN
then it is possible.
Alternativey you can follow htp://namesys.com/support.html instructions.

Linux is able to run on SUN boxes too, and reiserfs is available for
Linux on any supported hardware if it is littleendian or bigendian.

Switch the OS, switch the OS and the hardware or pay for the porting.
(This is assuming that you did all the necessary tuning of your solaris box
already).
