Rick, I am working on this right now.  I found the following document 
helpful for getting myself going on solaris: 
http://www.samag.com/documents/s=9427/sam0414e/0414e.htm  .

If you've not looked at the Samba docs, be sure to check them out:
http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/unixclients.html
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/unixclients.html#adssdm

Are you using the "stock" Solaris kerberos?  I have read that there are 
issues with it.  I built my own copy of MIT kerberos and installed into 
/opt/local/kerberos5 so that part of my samba configure looks like:

./configure --prefix=/opt/local/samba --with-automount \
	--with-profile --with-acl-support --with-utmp \
	--with-winbind --with-ads --with-ldap \
	--with-krb5=/opt/local/kerberos5 --with-pam

I do not yet have a working build on Solaris (it wants "_pam_macros.h" 
which I cannot find), I did build a working version using many of the 
same parts on SuSE Linux 9.2 to prove to myself that I could do it.
