unix iptables?

Hi I'm new enough to unix. just ran into trouble with an application that needs to bind to port 69. From searching i see that unix can't bind to ports lower than 1024 if your not the root user. Running the application as root user isn't an option. I found the tool iptables and it looks like what im looking for however i can't seem to find setup instructions for it for unix solaris. it only seems to be available for linux. Could anyone point me in the direction of the iptables setup/install for unix solaris. If it isn't available for unix solaris have i any other options. is there a similar tool for unix?
