Have you actually tried this?  I am pretty sure it would not work.

It appears to me that solaris.kmod includes shims that provide some
Solaris kernel interfaces at the *source* level in NetBSD, which
certainly makes it easier to port kernel code from Solaris but does
not (as far as I can tell) give us binary compatibility.
