With NVidia drivers the graphics support should be exactly as on Linux, and since X.org is the same as well AIGLX will work with an NVidia supported graphics card.
By the way, regarding advantages over Linux I'd say the stable driver interface allowing you to use the same stable drivers with a newer kernel build is worth settling for ...

but its getting really hard to tell myself not to use this, when it supports:
* Xen dom0 and domU
* ZFS
* DTrace
* apt-clone hotness
* gnu core-utils
What more can I ask for?
does aiglx work?

I'd imagine that the hardware driver support is far more extensive for Linux that it is for Solaris.
Having siad that, the bulk of the Nvidia driver is a binary blob that should work on any x86 machine, and the interface from that blob to the kernel is compiled anyway, so nvidia drivers should work.
