I did and had too many problems and performance issues. Solaris- PostgreSQL just doesn't gel as wel as Linux-PostgreSQL. (ouch)
If PostgreSQL were to get retooled to work with threads the way it works between processes today for Solaris or if someone were to find a tweak to make the Solaris scheduler more process-centric than thread-centric (maybe via dispadmin(1)?) then I'm sure Solaris-PG would clobber Linux-PG.
I still spin up 7.3.3 on our Sun V480 4CPU, 8GB, 2 internal fibre drives occasionally and our 7.3.3 on RedHat 7.3 with 2.4.20, 2 1.4GHz, 2GB memory and 2 internal U160 kills it. I've tried the many options for UFS and VxFS and EXT3 on Linux still beats it. The database I use on the Sun comes from a pg_dump on the Linux system.
But, IMHO Solaris 8 or 9 in comparison to Linux on like hardware, databases, configurations and queries the latter will outperform the former every time. -= IMHO =-
The short answer to your question is yes, it will run on Solaris 9.

Why don't you try it out?
