Who is sending the RST's? (= the connection you are attempting
to use does not exist)
Who is sending the SYN's? (= I am attempting to establis a new
conneciton)
This may be related to the "secure" initial sequence number
generation algorithm FreeBSD uses; there have been several
fixes that have backed this out in various branches.
It may also be that your FreeBSD box is multihomes, and you
are sending the response on an interface different that the
one it was received on (and thus different than the IP address
the client is expecting, so the client believes it's a spoof
attempt).
You should be able to fix this by setting up an explicit route
on the FreeBSD box, and potentially the Sun box, depending on
how arcane your network setup is.
