Very slim.  Oracle was working on drivers for this years ago, but they didn't get it integrated before they closed up the source code.  The mellanox parts are incredibly complex (owing to IB heritage), and I doubt you'll see any open source illumos drivers for these ethernet parts anytime soon.

Even the latest IB HCAs are probably not supported. 

Best bet is probably to pick up a pair of Intel 10GB NICs.  I'm sure there are other vendors as well (SolarFlare, etc.)
