I doubt it. I can't imagine Sun (or anyone else) paying Hans enough money to
do this.
Veritas VXFS is good for this type of thing. Any time you want half decent IO
performance on Solaris you want Veritas VXFS and Volume Manager.

In 1999 I was doing some work on AIX machines. I found that an AIX server was
so slow that NFS mounting a ReiserFS file system over a 10baseT network was
faster for some operations!!! If you do a usenet search you can find
references to this, comp.sys.aix or something.
Another option is to use Linux on the SPARC machine. Linux on SPARC reputedly
performs a lot better than Solaris if you have 8 or less CPUs, even without
the ReiserFS issue. I think that Linux on SPARC can even run Solaris
binaries (but I'm not certain).
PS There is no such thing as Solaris 6. They jumped straight from Solaris
2.6 (which is presumably what you are using) to Solaris 7.0.
