Good question. I asked same couple months ago.
Main problem was with WebKit which Chrome depends on.
WebKit is mandatory for GNOME 2.28 and I think
that Sun's engineers are approaching end with
porting it on OpenSolaris.

WebKit had one specific issue because it depends
on libsoup, and once when you would like to establish
secure conection you have to resolve whether key is
signed by 'well-known' CA authorithy. Unfortunately,
that couldn't be done via libsoup (answer received
directly from libsoup's developer), so they tried
to find another way how to solve this issue.

Issue has been solved by delivering another file bundled
with WebKit which will contain all 'well-known' CA
authorithies.

In short, we have to wait for a few weeks to see
GNOME 2.28 integrated into OpenSolaris. After that
I think we will have all tools to build Chrome.
How easy it'll be nobody knows for sure.

Hope this helps.
