A web search for lex source found this:


http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/devtools.html


which sounds like exactly what you want. It is supposed to compile on Linux,
and seems to be derived from Solaris source, and has the CDDL license:


http://www.opensolaris.org/os/licensing


Otherwise, as noted previously, Solaris-x86 should run on easily found x86 systems.
(Or in a virtual machine on such systems, if you don't have one available.)
