Of course its probably easier just to run Solaris Express it should have most of your favorite Linux applications allready ported, if not you can use Brandz that allows you to run most Linux apps/excutables in a Zone inside Solaris.

I'm curious whether there is a version of Linux 2.6 ZFS available?
Many thanks.
