You've all been a great help!
The answers to my questions are:
The amd automounter will work with Solaris.
The SunOs stock automounter is compatible with the solaris automounter,
but the SunOS version isn't highly regarded.
The overall opinion is that the Solaris 2.6 automounter is a superior
product, and is also easier to configure than the amd product (not to
mention no compilation needed.)
There is a new "version" of the amd automounter called am-utils
available from:

Here's the original question:

Does anyone know if the amd automounter will work on Soalris 2.5/2.6?
Will the solaris automounter work on SunOs 4.1.4?
Which of the two is the "better" solution for a small (~20 SS10,SS20)
network with about 500 users?
AND a big thank you to Matt Glaves, who had by far the best solution:
