The solution is to fix the sender program, no better workaround exists in syslog-ng.
I tried that. I spent months trying to explain it to their developers. I almost got one of them to understand, at which point he said they don't really care.
How about a feature in syslog-ng like this: add_hostname(host1, host2, host3 [, ...]) Which would cause syslog-ng to insert a hostname or IP number for all packets received from the hosts requested. That would cover packets from Solaris hosts received via UDP - the add_hostname() option should also be available on individual syslog sources, so you could correct messages received from the local host via the syslog door or whatever that funky thing is Solaris uses.
