Sun-OS binaries? Please elaborate...will this allow access to

If you have a Sun to run them on.
Not quite. Rumor has it that the person who did the Amiga port of
NetBSD, Markus Wild, can run SunOS 68k programs on his Amiga now.
The *BSD shared library support that I've seen is much more dynamic.

with not enough memory) for 9 days without a hitch.
