Solaris /bin/sh doesn't handle advanced expansions like that.  I'd
suggest:

#!/bin/sh
case $0 in
  */*)
    dir=`dirname "$0"` &&
    # maybe it would be safe to append "/" in all cases?
    case $dir in
      */) : ;;        # probably only true for "/" itself
      *) dir=$dir/ ;;
    esac
  *) dir="" ;;
esac &&
# quote $dir, as it might contain whitespace or wildcards
exec "$dir"grep -E ${1+"$@"}
