If you have rpm distro or some else Linux than you can convert Solaris package to rpm package.
Quote:
alien is a program that converts between Red Hat rpm, Debian deb, Stampede slp, Slackware tgz, and Solaris pkg file formats. If you want to use a package from another linux distribution than the one you have installed on your system, you can use alien to convert it to your preferred package format and install it. It also supports LSB packages

rpm2cpio(1) User Commands rpm2cpio(1)NAME
rpm2cpio - convert Red Hat Package (RPM) to cpio archive
SYNOPSIS
rpm2cpio [file.rpm]
DESCRIPTION
The rpm2cpio utility converts the .rpm file specified as its sole argument to a cpio archive on standard output. (See NOTES.) If no argu-
ment is given, an rpm stream is read from standard input. In both cases, rpm2cpio will fail and print a usage message if the standard out-
put is a terminal. Therefore, the output is usually redirected to a file or piped through the cpio(1) utility.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Converting an rpm file
example% rpm2cpio Device3Dfx-1.1-2.src.rpm | cpio -itv
