There have been people using MythTV on Solaris and OpenSolaris in the
past. Considering OpenIndiana is forked from it, it shouldn't be too
difficult to get MythTV compiled and running it. If you're lucky, the
existing ifdefs in the code will take care of everything and it will
compile directly. As mentioned, the only tuner you're likely to get
working is the HDHomeRun.
If you're just looking for ZFS support, rather than a particular love
for Solaris, FreeBSD 8.3 and 9.0 will support zpool v28 when released in
the near term.
