Yes - CVSNT is free/GPL and has binaries available for Solaris and has
ACLs.  The CVSNT ACL's are not NTFS based - they are integral to the
CVSNT server:
http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/chacl.html
http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/chown.html
http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/lsacl.html
http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/rchacl.html
http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/rchown.html

Also CVSNT has Audit, Merge Tracking, Change Sets, Lock Server, supports
unreserved and reserved edits, you can remove "insecure" protocols,
enforce compression/encryption, Unicode filenames/diff/merge, efficient
binary storage as well as plugins for shadow-directories, e-mail and
more...  All for free/GPL...

If you are interested in CVSNT please contact the CVSNT newsgroup:
