That's a bit convoluted.

[[ $OSTYPE = solaris* ]]

or

case $OSTYPE in
  (solaris*) ...
  ;;
  (*) ...
  ;;
esac

Also I think you meant
PATH=$PATH:/usr/ucb:${HOME}/bin:

Also, if you'd like Solaris to behave in a more Unixy way, you
could add the Unix PATH in front:

PATH=$(command -p getconf PATH):$PATH:/usr/ucb:${HOME}/bin:

(that might break some scripts though).

zmodload -i zsh/files &&
