For very-recent SPARC systems, yes.

Solaris 11 feels like the OS that Solaris 10 was a painful beta for, but
managing it doesn't feel much like managing Unix.  That might not be a bad
thing.

I'd be inclined to run it instead of FreeBSD/amd64 at home and on
consulting gigs, but Oracle's rapacious license fees stand in the way of
that.
