I haven't tried on a very recent Solaris 10, but I suspect for stability
reasons the sitation is the same; the OpenSSL that ships with Solaris 10
is a little broken, so it's definitely best to install another version.
Personally I use Sunfreeware, but Blastwave/OpenCSW probably works too.
You'll then need to follow as per Ben's instructions below. (This is
also documented on the wiki.)

I keep meaning to try it on OpenIndiana but haven't had time.
