I got this meail today form the postgres announce mailing list.
It does look promising...
Here is a copy of what was sent:

Community members:
Today, Sun announced that they would be supporting and shipping PostgreSQL as a part of Solaris distribution. The press release should be here very soon, if it's not already:
http://www.sun.com/smi/Press/sunflash/web_sunflash.html
This should come as no surprise to the hackers in our community who've noticed an increasing number of @sun.com addresses on the pgsql-hackers list in the last few months. Sun's support for PostgreSQL will involve:
help in optimizing for Solaris; DTrace; Solaris packages; sponsorship of community members and projects; and direct contributions/advice from Sun
engineers on database performance. More later as this stuff actually gets rolling.
I think almost everyone here will agree with me that Sun is a very welcome addition to our community of corporate supporters.
