This really has nothing to do with Solaris. It's your shell. 

sh|ksh|bash in .profile (or .kshrc or .bashrc or .bash_profile):

export PATH
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

csh|tcsh (in .login or .cshrc):
set path=($path /usr/local/bin)


However, in Solaris, you can also edit the PATH line in
/etc/default/login.
