You could add your vote for OpenSolaris here:
http://forum.skype.com/index.php?s=abfb137e0fd8d8a977cb58d8ab727503&showtopic=26856&st=60
Also people reported that Skype is working from inside Linux Zone but
only for text chatting.
You could try running it also form Virtualbox..
but I suggest you try and use openSource program: ekiga
(seen after install from Package manager as "Video Conference" :)
More people come to ekiga (They can also use noumerous other standard
SIP: clients)
less trouble you will have in the future.
