No, Windows XP has something called boot.ini, which points to different partitions and folders for Windows install.
If you're running a *nix variant on the same machine, you'll need a *nix aware boot manager such as Linux's Lilo or Grub to sit in the first 512kb sector and point at the secondary boot sector for the desired OS.
Or something like that.
Win XP won't boot in between Solaris and itself without a special bootloader, although I'd imagine being Sun there is one available somewhere.
