Take a look at xscreensaver which is provided with Solaris 10 (not sure about 9) , the command xscreensaver-demo allows to try the different screensaving patterns and IIRC at least one of them will display images from a specified directory.
For more info take a look at:

xscreensaver-getimage-file
xscreensaver-getimage-file(1) XScreenSaver manual xscreensaver-getimage-file(1)
NAME
xscreensaver-getimage-file - put a randomly-selected image on the root window
SYNOPSIS
xscreensaver-getimage-file [-display host:display.screen] [--verbose] [--name] directory
DESCRIPTION
The xscreensaver-getimage-file program is a helper program for the xscreensaver hacks that manipulate images. Specifically, it is invoked
by xscreensaver-getimage(1) as needed. This is not a user-level command.
This program selects a random image from disk, and loads it on the root window. It does this by figuring out which image-loading programs
are installed on the system, and invoking the first one it finds.
OPTIONS
xscreensaver-getimage-file accepts the following options:
--verbose
Print diagnostics.
--name
Don't load an image: instead just print the file name to stdout.
directory
The directory to search. The directory will be searched recursively, and all files in it are assumed to be images.
