You must have an old path, since that indicates you're trying to start Xsun, aka
/usr/openwin/bin/X, instead of /usr/X11/bin/X, which is a script that checks SMF
to see which X server to start (default is Xorg on x86).
But just running X is a bad way to start X anyway - you'll end up with a gray
screen and a cursor and nothing else. You need to start X with something that
starts clients for you to run - normally gdm starts the X server and the login
screen, then your gnome session. To manually start an X session without gdm,
I'd suggest:
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:<whatever else you like>
export PATH
startx
At least that way you'll get a window manager and terminal so you can start
other programs.
