Oracle has a "test-drive" version of X86 Solaris Workgroup server available for download. FYI, the Netware, OS/2, Windows NT, SCO, and UnixWare Workgroup servers can also be downloaded.

I downloaded and installed the Solaris X86 workgroup server (7.3.2.2.0). The install was completely "hands-free". I had Oracle up and running within the hour. The only problem I'm having is with the web based administration tool. Everything else works just fine.
