Just watch out that NFS can make assumptions about inodes - particularly the kernel-mode NFS daemon. I would suggest either looking at a product on your Solaris box directly - with something like smbwrapper or sharity (commercial). Less hops means less translations, which can make this stuff a bit hairy. You might also consider using a user-space NFS daemon if the kernel one gives you grief.
