Easiest way out I think is to pull ncurses from sunfreeware and then export TERMINFO=/usr/local/lib/terminfo. This is what I've done on Solaris 10; I don't know if there is an easier way to do this with the OpenSolaris respositories (i.e. does ncurses use the Solaris-bundled terminfo or install its own, etc.).
