We are developing the client in a platform independent fashion on 
Fedora/Red Hat Enterprise Linux first.
We will port it to Solaris and other platforms as the next step after.
So the whole set of services (PAM, NSS with caching HBAC etc) will be 
available on Solaris too but down the road.
The client is modular and PolicyKit and InfoPipe integration will not be 
available on the platforms that do not have these components.
The part of DBUS we use is has been ported to multiple platforms  so we  
do not expect any significant issues there.

Sorry for delayed response.
