You refer to the "above list" but I do not see a location of the list. Do you 
mean the 
<a href="http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/apps/";>Solaris Ready Applications and 
Solutions Catalog</a>?
People who own that list tell me there is indeed no way to display only those 
applications that run on
32-bit systems. If you click the "Application Name" in the
<a 
href="http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/apps/data/views/all_applications_x64.page1.html";>x64
table</a>, the "Description" might mention whether the application is available 
for 32-bit systems.
You could also click the "Vendor Name" to get the information directly from the 
vendor.

For free software, see the
<a href="http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware/";>Solaris Operating 
System - Freeware</a>
page. Below the list of software that comes with the Solaris OS or is 
co-packaged with the Solaris OS
is a "Related Links" section that points to other sites that have free software 
for the Solaris OS.

I believe any software that works on the Solaris 10 OS will also work on 
OpenSolaris, but I am in no
position to assert that claim authoritatively. Sun is known for and takes pride 
in maintaining backward
compatibility, but then OpenSolaris is a community project, not just a Sun 
project, so please don't shoot
me if you find a case where this is not true. I believe it would be a low-risk 
assumption that Solaris 10
apps run on OpenSolaris.
