Well, the problem is a bit "will a bigger list be helpful or just confusing
for the person who's submitting the bug?" - if it's too confusing for them
we'll end up getting a lot of "Unspecified" or "Other" or even wrong platforms.
So I general BSD would be better IMO.

No, there can be only one platform and only one OS selected.
However, you since you can run a query over the whole bug contents you can
just provide some additional comments to this bug report which include the
word "Solaris" and you can then search for this.
You can, for instance use something like:
Platform: Solaris
in your comment and then do a regexp search for this.
For instance, all bug-buddy submitted bugs already have this

Since Bugzilla allows you to do regexp searches, you can explicitly search
for these fields.
