Maybe there is one thing we should consider:
Since the Solaris kernel is Open now (=OpenSolaris), one could have the
strange idea of adding some "sys-kernel/solaris-sources-2.11.ebuild", to
build some distribution eventually called "Gentoo Solaris", which might
be comparable to Nexenta[1], which uses Debian's APT AFAICS.

As "Gentoo Solaris" would not be the same as "Gentoo Prefix on Solaris",
it should not share the *-solaris keywords used for Prefix via the same
KEYWORDS-setting.

For me, this is a (maybe strange, but valid) reason for something like
PREFIX_KEYWORDS.
