Evidently you didn't see

        http://www.mysql.com/doc/S/o/Solaris.html

I'd suspect using a 2.8 binary on a 2.7 system might cause problems, 
but it shouldn't hurt to test it...

There are also older binaries (including some for Solaris 2.7) at

        ftp://ftp.mysql.com/MySQL-3.23/

Lastly, you could always compile it yourself from source...t'aint that hard!
