No--you need the SunOS version of the library (which is based on X11R4 and
properly references the SunOS shared C library).  When you are using binary
compatibility (Linux on i386, SunOS on sparc, etc.), you *must* use the
shared libraries for the proper OS.

Check to see if you have /emul/sunos/usr/openwin/lib/libX*.so.4 ... if you
have these libs, move them to /emul/sunos/usr/lib and it should work. 
Otherwise, grab them from /usr/openwin/lib on a real SunOS machine or the
"openwinusers" tarfile on the SunOS distribution CD.
