I'm naive professionally, so I'm assuming that the poster was not being sarcastic.
The advice about getting a used Sparc box is worthwhile. As best as I can tell, even after Oracle has gobbled up Sun Microsystems you can still download and burn Solaris (or buy DVD's) and run it legally. You can't get much in the way of patches and updates, though.
As far as preparing for a job interview, you're not gonna be a good candidate for a job requiring heavy Solaris experience, no matter what you do. If the position is not too advanced, then emphasize your coursework. Talk about some learning experience, some issue you solved, in your schooling. Stress the similarities between Solaris and the Unixes (Unices?) with which you are more familiar (I hope there are some).
