Yes, you can trunk ethernet interfaces in Solaris. You could also spring for a 10Gbit ethernet interface if your switch will support it. The iSCSI protocol does not care how the network data gets delivered. > I'm a little confused though.

COMSTAR is to allow Solaris to provide SAN type service (i.e. fiber channel). This is currently bleeding edge. For this you would need fiber channel or use fiber channel over ethernet (FCoE), which is even more bleeding edge in OpenSolaris.
