I got my answer: On 64 bit Solaris, a single swap device can be sized upto '2^63 –1' bytes in size but you can have multiple swap devices.
From man page swap(1M) on Solaris 10 "USAGE On the 32-bit operating system, only the first 2 Gbytes -1 are used for swap devices greater than or equal to 2 Gbytes in size. On the 64-bit operating system, a block device larger than 2 Gbytes can be fully utilized for swap up to 2^63 -1 bytes."
