You could try using CMake as a "cross-platform" build system. CMake
essentially takes the place of AutoTools but does not have the
learning curve. CMake "knows about" lots of platforms and so should
work well for you.
CMake _can_ generate Xcode projects for you if you need it to but
what I might be tempted to do is to setup CMake to generate
Makefiles, then use Xcode to do your development but use the
MakeFiles for the building. This has worked very well for a few of my
projects in the past. CMake is just a text file so it is CVS
friendly. Then when your app is ready for solaris just move the code
and CMake file to Solaris, rerun "cmake" to generate Makefiles that
are specific for Solaris and compile.
I have used this approach to get the same code to compile on OS X,
XP, Linux, IRIX and a Cray. All with the same CMake file.
Just my 2 Cents.

Hello everybody,
I know it sound a bit off topic, but my question is relevant to
xCode, so I thought it was the right place.
I'm currently working on a game project, with networking support
(MMORPG).
Anyway, no trouble for client side, we use xcode to create
universal binaries and windows binary with mingw cross compiling.
Now, for the server part, we will certainly use sparc multicore cpu
(the thread monster servers). I want to dev the server part on my
mac, using xCode, but the app will be compiled with sun studio on
sparc.
I will do the debugging on my mac, compiling as ppc binary (ppc is
near enough of sparc to debug). But I don't know how I will compile
my xCode project using sun studio.
A solution I though of is using makefile within xcode. But, I don't
really know how. I use xCode because it's super handy. I want the
best was to manage my solaris sparc build. I don't want to edit the
makefile each time I move or add a *.c or a *.h.
Any recommendation?
Regards
