More information here: http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Solaris/OpenSolaris Merging with /release is unlikely, some of the packages are however being ported to Solaris, other hopefully to /contrib via sourcejuicer.

Readline was integrated later than 2009.06, which is used for building the repository, but the plan is certainly to drop custom ports provided the official ports are usable.
