There is Solaris FAQ update. Please, look on it and let me know any comments.
Very minor grammatical nits aside, it looks fine to me.
Thanks for updating the FAQ!

6) Where I can download prepared Solaris packages?
7) How can I tune PostgreSQL and Solaris for performance?
8) Can I use DTrace for tracing PostgreSQL?
+ 9) Can I compile PostgreSQL with Kerberos v5 support?
1) What tools do I need to build and install PostgreSQL on Solaris?

This is probably a case of the run-time linker being unable to find
some library, probably libz, libreadline or some other non-standard
library such as libssl. To point it to the right location, set the
! LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, e.g.,
! LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib:/opt/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib
! export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
! and restart configure. You will also have to keep this setting whenever
! you run any of the installed PostgreSQL programs. Alternatively, set
! the environment variable LD_RUN_PATH. See the ld(1) man page for more
information.

If you see the linking of the postgres executable abort with an error
message like
***************
*** 157,164 ****
gmake: *** [postgres] Error 1
your DTrace installation is too old to handle probes in static
! functions. You need Solaris 10u3 or newer.

gmake: *** [postgres] Error 1
your DTrace installation is too old to handle probes in static
! functions. You need Solaris 10u4 or newer. Workaround is remove static
! keyword from AbortTransaction and CommitTransaction functions declaration in
! src/backend/access/transam/xact.c.

! 9) Can I compile PostgreSQL with Kerberos v5 support?
!
! Kerberos is integrated in OpenSolaris and will be integrated in Solaris 10u4. GSS security
! mechanism contains internal Kerberos v5 library implementation which provide all necessary
! krb5 function. However, usage this library is only on own risk. It is private library
! and interface may change without notice.
