I use check_snmp_storage.pl from http://nagios.manubulon.com/ to
monitor Solaris (and various other) filesystems.  I usually monitor
each filesystem individually but sometimes use the regular expression
matching to bundle similar filesystems together.

I would love to be able automatically to pick up new filesystems as
you say (and it's possible using this plugin), but firstly it would
break the pnp4nagios graphing and secondly our Unix admins frequently
mount filesystems for test restores and suchlike and I really don't
want to be bothered with those.

That's my 2p worth.  There are lots of ways to skin this metaphorical cat.

Cheers,

Jim
