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.
