Those drivers are only available from Sun for SPARC, not x86.   I don't
know which, if any, x86 boards have simultaneuos 8 + 24 support, though
I suspect it's the same set as Xorg/XFree86, especially when using the
Xorg server (new in Solaris 10) or the Xsun server with XFree86 Porting
Kit drivers (included in recent Solaris 9 releases, available as download
for older releases).
