PostgreSQL 8.3 has just been announced by the community:

http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.918

The ARC case to integrate 8.3 into Nevada has been approved and I'm
currently working on getting this done.  8.2 has recently been
extended with 64 bit binaries, and 8.3 will of course also come in 32
bit and 64 bit versions.

There are also plans (and an approved ARC case) to eventually remove
8.1 from OpenSolaris, to avoid having too many versions.  There will
be a solution available to allow people to upgrade their databases.

Independently of this, I have also written a short description of how
to build PostgreSQL on Solaris:

This is currently only for the 32 bit version, I will update with 64
bit version later.
