You know the inverse is true right? Solaris is supported on
VMWare ESX(i). Though SATA disks are not officially supported
by the VMFS file system in 3.x.

I wanted Solaris as the Host OS so it could natively manage my disks
via ZFS. Making it a guest would be pointless. Underneath that I would run a couple of smaller Linux instances (eg for internet facing services),
maybe a Windows instance and so on.

You know you may not find VMware server for Solaris, but there is always
Xen or VirtualBox.
