There are several ways to fake a hostid with SunOS, however doing it to overcome a licensing constraint is likely to be illegal so I doubt it is the right place to discuss it.

Solaris 2.4 itself isn't y2k compliant.
The OP isn't using Solaris 2.4 (SunOS 5.4 / 1994) but Solaris 1.0 (SunOS 4.1.1 / 1990). It is even less supported and less Y2K compliant, but generally works fine anyway.

Assuming your application is not statically linked, you can interpose a gettimeofday (and similar functions) that will return a shifted time to the calling process.
Here is an example:
