If nobody knows of any, your only alternative may be to build from
source; this would require that you have a compiler - GCC will do, and
binaries are available for many Solaris releases - as well as having the
appropriate "/usr/ccs/bin" stuff installed (make, the assembler and
linker, etc.).

Once you've done that, you'll need to install libpcap (if you want to
capture packets), GLib, and GTK+ - and if you install those as binary
packages, you will have to install *developer* packages that include
header files, not just binary packages containing only shared libraries,
for example.
