Easy.

X -query solaris.server.blah

That will start the X server on Linux with Solaris as the client.  (The 
terms "client" and "server" may seem backwards but it is correct for 
X11).

Setting up a chooser is slightly more work.  You're going to want to 
read up on XDMCP if you want to have a GUI menu of all the systems you 
can log into graphically.  But this is a built in function of X11.  
It's just a matter of getting all the configs right for this.
