That is incorrect. The x64 ( as sun calls it ) runs on 32 bit x86 machines. It has both 32 and 64 bit kernels.

Can I run 32 bit apps on a 64 bit x86 Solaris machine?
Yes, provided you satisfy the library dependencies with 32 bit libraries. For example the entire JDS desktop is compiled as 32 bit and runs quite happily 64 bit solaris.
