I am not sure it will *work*, but you can try copying the file in the 
tarball to /kernel/drv (perhaps you can "file" this file to see if it
is 32- or 64-bit and appropriately place it to amd64 subdir if needed).

Then run something like "devfsadm -Cv", update_drv or add_drv to load
the driver and bind it to hardware. You'd likely need to add a correct
PCI ID (see "prtconf -v") to /etc/driver_aliases, maybe something to
/etc/name_to_major.
