Yes. You can mount both fat32 and NTFS partition in opensolaris.

First you have to identify the device i.e the cXtXpX in directory /dev/dsk

It will be something like c2d0p0 or c2d0p3
and mount it as pcfs filesystem if it is  fat32 partition and mount it 
as ntfs if it is ntfs filesystem.

At this moment solaris doesn't include the support for NTFS. But you can 
get the packages for solaris by which you can mount NTFS partition.
Latest belenix comes with NTFS support

You mean USB ? You plug the USB disk. Vold will automatically mount it 
in /rmdisk directory.

 I think NTFS partitions doesn't support write at this moment. But you 
can read the partition.
