 Jake Hamby brought this up and a couple of us expressed interest.  BUt
as far as I can tell, nothing came up.  But a little information was gathered:

the netbsd people have ported the BSD 4.4 make to everything in the
world.  Including svr4 (and therefore solaris).  At one point I started
making changes to the ports makefile that were SunOS 4.* specific, but
I never finished.  

This is something that I would be interested in doing.
