I have no idea. If this is the place where Solaris puts its SCSI
generic devices, probably yes. Patches for sane-find-scanner are
welcome.

If you can't make a patch can you answer the following questions:

What's the format of the device files in /dev/scsi? Can I just scan
the directory and open any available device and check, if it's a
scanner?

Bye,
