Check /var/adm - see if your messages file(s) can be removed (well, emptied - you probably don't need to remove them) if not needed - look throughout that directory to see if you can get some space back.
As far as growfs, if you read the man page for it, it looks to be used for metadevices which you aren't using (DiskSuite). I don't know if it would work on your file partitons.
How much more space do you have? If it's larger than /var, you could mount it as /mnt and dump /var into it then remount /mnt as /var.
Or, if /var/adm is huge, you could use the space in one of your free partitions (slice 3 assuming it isn't swap) and then have /var and /var/adm as mount points.
You might want to post the partition table of that disk ( c0t0d0 ) from format - then we can tell where the free space is and which options would be easiest to gain more space.

wtmpx
utmpx(4) File Formats utmpx(4)
NAME
utmpx, wtmpx - utmpx and wtmpx database entry formats
SYNOPSIS
#include <utmpx.h>
/var/adm/utmpx
/var/adm/wtmpx
DESCRIPTION
The utmpx and wtmpx files are extended database files that have superseded the obsolete utmp and wtmp database files.
The utmpx database contains user access and accounting information for commands such as who(1), write(1), and login(1). The wtmpx database
contains the history of user access and accounting information for the utmpx database.
USAGE
Applications should not access these databases directly, but should use the functions described on the getutxent(3C) manual page to inter-
act with the utmpx and wtmpx databases to ensure that they are maintained consistently.
FILES
/var/adm/utmpx user access and adminstration information
/var/adm/wtmpx history of user access and adminstrative information
