Belenix has been a KDE focussed distro since 2005, with the present Belenix 0.7.1 (ISO Download) and build 111 (online package upgrade) offering KDE 3.5.9 built with GCC. To add to what Moinak has said, the confusingly named OpenSolaris distro and Belenix share lots of common history as a distro, as well as are derived from the same code base from ON. Moinak has made use of many good patches by the KDE-Solaris team, as well as of some patches by the Fedora developers. @Yves: KDE has been available on Solaris for years.

It is also very stable and very compatible with SUN's OpenSolaris having derived packages out of sources from JDS, SFW, FOX, G11N, Caiman and other repos plus it's own repo. It is also a full-blown OpenSolaris development environment being completely self-hosting. Every package delivered for BeleniX is built on BeleniX including the base OS (ON). So it is contributing to woo users to the OpenSolaris platform.

The KDE-Solaris team have been building KDE 4.1 for Solaris for quite some time now: http://solaris.kde.org/ However their focus is on getting KDE4 built with SUN Studio on Solaris 10 whereas I focus solely on BeleniX based on OpenSolaris and use Gcc.
