I think Rich's point was that if DISPLAY is not set, you definitely
won't be able to use X. If your ssh server and client are configured
properly, this variable should be automatically set and you should not
need to change it.
I tried to login from apple to a remote Linux Machine using ssh -X
and I had no problem running X applications.
This should lead you to suspect that it's a server-side issue, not a
client-side one. That is, you're probably going to need to fix
something on the Solaris box. I'd recommend you try Tim Cutts'
suggestion:

Check whether X11 Forwarding is allowed in the sshd_config file on the
Solaris server.
This file is probably in /etc or /etc/ssh. If you don't have root
access to the server, you'll need to talk to an administrator to change
this setting; I don't think there is anything you can do on the client
side to override this setting.
(Not strictly true, you could manually set up a forwarded port and
manually copy your xauth cookie, but I wouldn't recommend that.)
