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.)
