If you're going to go with (Open)Solaris, the OP may also want to
look
into the multi-platform pkgsrc for third-party open source software:
http://www.pkgsrc.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pkgsrc
Am I mistaken? I thought pkgsrc was for netbsd.
For solaris/opensolaris, I would normally say opencsw or blastwave.
(And in
some circumstances, sunfreeware.)
It was originally created by the NetBSD (forking from FreeBSD), but
like everything else they seem to do, it's multi-platform: BSDs,
Linux, Darwin/OS X, IRIX, AIX, Interix, QNX, HP-UX, and Solaris. AFAIK
you can do cross-compiling as well (i.e., use Pkgsrc on Linux/AMD to
compile a package for IRIX/MIPS).
Pkgsrc currently has 9500 packages; Blastwave 4500; OpenCSW about 2300
AFAICT; FreeBSD Ports, 21500. YMMV.
