Quick summary of results with the original idea:

So, instead of Solaris I installed NetBSD 5.1/SPARC under QEMU.
I performed the installation using QEMU 0.13 on Windows Vista.

Next, I copied .img file from Vista to Linux Ubuntu (64-bit)
I also cloned QEMU Git repo. built QEMU from source and installed.
Finally, I successfully booted the NetBSD system on Linux guest
running under VirtualBox hosted on Windows Vista:

The idea seems to work.

I haven't solved the networking problem with configuring the only 
existing iface=le0 with external DHCP, but that's another story.

Folks, thanks for help!
