I was afraid you were going to talk about Windows and Mac here ;)

No problem with interprocess communication, DCOP works on those platforms.

There should be almost no porting effort involved, we have people using KDE & KOffice

You might want to subscribe to the kde-solaris mailing-list, in case you
have problems porting to Solaris, and to kde-nonlinux for HPUX problems.
