Quick answer off my mind would be that no, FW-1 probably will not run on
Trusted Solaris, and even if it would run without breaking, it probably
would not give you as much security you would believe B2 to have.

The first step in hardening FW-1 is using Memco's SeOS for FW-1 which now
gets distributed through FW-1 resellers. Basically it helps to improve a
little bit your FW-1 installation, acces to /etc/fw/ , it does distribute
access to FW-1 between many administrators etc. Never tried or looked at
it really besides reading the manual, but I believe it is something on
your way to B2 firewalls (which in reality probably do not exist).
