Correct.

VESA mode isn't a function of the OS, but the hardware platform - you can use
VESA mode with Xorg on x86 boxes running Solaris or OpenSolaris as well, but
there is no equivalent in SPARC graphics, since it was never necessary to
support OS'es that didn't include the required drivers when the hardware & OS
always came in sync from the same vendor.
Martin Bochnig has done some work on making Xorg drivers available for the
older SPARC graphics cards that Sun/Oracle has EOL'ed - you should be able
to find postings he's made about those or get more details from him.
