You will have to re-write portions of the driver since Linux kernel interfaces are very different from OpenSolaris. However the result cannot be distributed due to licensing issues.

It has become easier now with spkg. Some details are here: http://belenix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/belenix/trunk/apps/belenix_constructor/README?revision=57&view=markup But this needs an update for spkg. You do not have to have the packages locally for using the updated belenix constructor. Spkg will pull packages from the belenix repository.
