Assuming Solaris is downwards compatible (officially this is true for Windoze, but the truth is different), you shouldn't have any problem. IMO, for questions like this you would better query the support database at technet.oracle.com.
As to exports, the export format is host-platform independent. Again you shouldn't run into problems.
