Yes, please give the Solaris 10 DVD to Jan.
Yes, you can use the bundled installer.
However, I would not install both Emacs and XEmacs at the same time. Nowadays, I highly recommend installing only one of them, with my preference given to XEmacs. Of course, only when there are no specialized Lisp packages that require Emacs.
Then my installation would be like below:
- cd /cdrom/s10_software_companion/components/sparc/Packages
- cat > /tmp/nointeraction
mail= instance=unique partial=nocheck runlevel=nocheck idepend=nocheck rdepend=nocheck space=quit setuid=nocheck conflict=quit action=nocheck basedir=default
- pkgadd -a /tmp/nointeraction -d . -n SFWbdb SFWgcc34l SFWxmacs

P.S. I include in the attachments my checklist I use for a Solaris 10 installation, adjusted to show only items particular to yours and not my entire decision tree. I added brief explanations for some of the items that might seem arbitrary otherwise.
Very similar decisions are made when installing any release of Linux, Solaris, MS Windows or yet another operating system - the details vary though.
http://docs.sun.com/ has all (too many) the details.
