The server and the Linux clients are all running amanda from an RPM
installation, and they are backing up just fine.

The Solaris box's Amanda was built from source and though it's on
subnet A with the other Linux boxes, the iptables rules are the
problem. I tried shutting them down and it backs up fine.

What's the best approach to get this Solaris instance working with my
current iptable ruleset, or is that even possible?

The 'generic' approach to such problems is to set the firewall to log all denied packets so you can see from the log what you need to allow.

The recommended approach in this case is to read docs/PORT.USAGE, try to understand it (it's quite complicated!) and configure your firewall accordingly.
