You probably will run into very few problems.  I ran SunOS compiled Grass
on a Solaris 2.4 machine and it ran beautifully.  Solaris 2.4 supports fifos
so now you won't have to use message queues.  However, Xgrass and Xgen
will need to have the C preprocessor to be in /usr/lib and I'm think
Solaris2.4 puts this program in /usr/ccs/lib.  If you find this to be the
case, you should be able to simply link the /usr/ccs/lib/cpp to /usr/lib/cpp.
Or, I suppose, someone could modify the Xgen, Xgrass, and Xclip code for 
Solaris 2.4.
