It's currently the "Java desktop" flavor of GNOME that's been around for seven 
or so years now inspired, IIRC, by a preview of GNOME 1.4 on a Solaris 8 CD. 
But others have confirmed that the KDE packages for Solaris install & work just 
as well. 

Xfce.org says Solaris is an official target & I'm seeing lots of older pkgs for 
both x86 & SPARC but nothing newer than 2007. But it looks as if some spec 
files were issued for LXDE so it might be the easier of the two to get 
installed... http://wiki.lxde.org/en/OpenSolaris

q.v. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSolaris_Desktop for more background.
