No, I think I found the obstacle you probably hit in Swarm. Today's snapshot 
(ftp://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/src/testing/swarm-2002-01-06.tar.gz)
now executes this `hello world' for me on sparc-sun-solaris2.8.  Of
course, there are surely be other problems lurking, but at least I'm
in a position to debug them now...

import xpcom.components;

env = xpcom.components.classes["urn:swarm:SwarmEnvironmentImpl"].createInstance 
(xpcom.components.interfaces.swarmISwarmEnvironment)

env.initSwarm_version_bugAddress_argCount_args ("hello world", "0.0", 
"address@hidden", ["-v"])

env.verboseMessage ("Hello World")

Since I'm using the current CVS trunk of Mozilla, I did have to make
some accomodations in the extensions/python/xpcom code (patch
attached).  The Python/XPCOM module is a bit out of sync with the
current Mozilla development.  Perhaps you won't need the patch if your
Mozilla tree is from before the 19th of December or so.  Here's the
tracking bug:
