Yes. But not extensive and it is quite some years ago. It was on a SS5
and NetBSD felt more responsive on that machine. Also the Solaris FDDI
drivers (the only reason for me to run Solaris) where crappy and made
the machine crash just by unpluging the network cable.

I thought Open Solaris is x86 only? (We are talking about 32 bit SPARC
support here.)
