Solaris 7,8,9 are usually 64 bit, with the option to run in 32 bit mode,
mainly if you have older hardware... But hardly anyone needs to do that
any more.   Solaris 10 is 64-bit only.

The 64-bit package will work just fine on your sol9 box, what they're
saying is it will only work on a sparc platform running in 64bit mode.
Sol9 is fully supported.
