Onboard RAID solutions actually do all their work on your CPU, so you won't be using that for anything if you use ZFS. You just want them acting like regular SATA controllers.
Just run the Solaris hardware compatibility thinger (google it), or compare your hardware to the supported hardware list. If you're good to go, you can install the OS and create a raidz array with the 4 disks. This will act like RAID5, leaving you 3 disks worth of space. Set up the Samba share and you're hopefully done... If your hardware isn't supported by OpenSolaris, you can try FreeNAS, OpenFiler, or a Windows with RAID5 support.
