Docker, while new(ish), is not a required dependency. It's an alternative platform in which to run (and/or nuild) NuPIC, for which there are Ubuntu and CentOS *flavors*. Pip is specific to Python and should be available on that platform, however it's not technically required, either. You *do* need the Python dependencies (each of which are documented in external/common/requirements.txt), which as far as I know can be individually built and installed for Solaris. Unfortunately, I don't have any resources available to test it.
However, I believe the bigger challenges will be in some of the core C++ dependencies. See the associated platform-specific directories of external/ in nupic (https://github.com/numenta/nupic/tree/master/external) and nupic.core (https://github.com/numenta/nupic.core/tree/master/external). Then, of course, making sure the platform is accounted for in CMakeLists.txt. I don't think there is technically anything preventing Solaris support. I think it would be great if that platform were supported, though, since I know how popular it is in the academic world (I know I could have found use for it in college!).
