Work is under way to support running Solaris x86 binaries. Unfortunately, the Linux ELF does not add an identification segment (like it should), so it is hard to distinguish Linux ELF binaries from Solaris ELF binaries. Since they have different call gates and different ld.so, etc., currently, it's only possible to distinguish shared binaries by their choice of ld.so. If you are interested in testing, you should contact the people working on the problem (on the -current list). Otherwise, the code is not in any release version, and the answer is "no".
