I know that this answer is quite OT on this list, but there are two
software repositories for Solaris. One has already been mentioned in
another answer, it is http://www.sunfreeware.com

The other one is http://www.blastwave.org
There is a nice script called "pkg-add" available, that is similar to apt-get.
