I would certainly hope that Solaris supported CCID profile USB card readers. You can get those for $20-30 from eBay.
For instance, item number 260288413629 right now. (That's a valid model number, I have no other knowledge. It's just a for-instance.) For that specific model you may need to upgrade the firmware to get CCID compliance. The firmware updater is available from the manufacturers web site.
