What storage format? If using filesystem files, I don't see how there's any chance. Even using raw devices it doesn't seem likely possible since Sun partition slices and all. Also, the data format is different between diff. arches, but that may just be an endian issue and these 2 big-endian arch's would be fine. Not sure.

I'd give the probability rating around 1% at best :)
