This paper tries to compare Linux vs. Solaris. Its author comes to many conclusions, among which this is one of the more interesting: "All-in-all Solaris is a powerful, stable, conformant-to-standards OS that can run many open source applications as well as Linux, and some (mainly multithreaded applications) better than Linux. Like in the cases of Red Hat and Suse, the cost of support is extra, but it is more reasonably priced. Security patches are free which makes Solaris similar to Windows."

When you wanted to use another script language, even PHP (C Like) or Python (like for intranet portals)... Bzzz... not really supported ! Use Java, "it's better".
Hence the reason I think Sun should support mono, and given the have a comprehensive patent sharing agreement with Microsoft, they can easily shield their customers from any Microsoft litigating if Mono becomes too compatible.
Ultimately, Sun shouldn't give a shit what is running ontop of their operating system, as long as the customer is running Solaris on Sun hardware, and getting Sun services - what they do with the equipment should not be the concern of Sun.
