I've recently tried to use bge interfaces with jumbo frames on a Sun Fire V240 
with Solaris 10u4 8/07 with a current recommended patch. I have had problems 
like the author's, so I found this thread :)

The trick which helped me was editing /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/bge.conf (not 
/kernel/drv/bge.conf, it wasn't noticed by the system).

I started out by adding the same set of lines as above, to this bge.conf:

# see http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=48569
default_mtu=9000;
default-mtu=9000;
#default_mtu=8000;

... and to /etc/system:
* jumbo frames
set bge:bge_jumbo_enable = 1

Then I also played around commenting away stuff to find the minimal needed 
config.

I found that in my case, the line in /etc/system is irrelevant, and 
/platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/bge.conf should only contain its default settings 
and this:
default_mtu=9000;

There's another problem: now all of my interfaces get MTU=9000 :(

Thanks to everyone who shared their knowledge and configs on this problem :)
