That's a virtual console device, and no we don't have it. There
is a project to deliver something similar but it hasn't integrated
into OpenSolaris just yet.

OpenSolaris' standard tar is not GNU tar, run /usr/bin/gtar

www.blastwave.org and look for "pkg-get" - it's a debian-like
delivery system, and there's a build of MPlayer there.
Welcome to the community! If you IRC, there's a channel called
#opensolaris on irc.freenode.net where there are plenty of people
to talk about OpenSolaris with.
