I've seen this many times myself as a former Unix Sysadmin working in a mixed Solaris, Linux, Windows and Mac environment. Solaris can't see any dates previous to the epoch (1972?) Linux (at least RedHat) can see timestamps back to the year 1900 so NFS mounting to a linux workstation was how I managed to fix date-timestamps.
For Sol7 there is the tunable nfs:nfs_32_time_ok. For Sol8 there is the tunable nfs:nfs_allow_preepoch_time.
Thanks. I can confirm the Solaris 8 variant: set nfs:nfs_allow_preepoch_time=1
now displays dates successfully, way back in 1948!
