Check out FrameMaker by Frame.  I understand they work on Sun, PC, and Mac.
We're just starting an installation, so I can't comment on the compatibility.
I expect that we will run FrameMaker on the Sun fileservers and have PC
access via X-Windows (to cure problems of incompatibilities).

I am running IBM (Interleaf) Publisher on a PC and have many problems
importing and exporting to Interleaf's WPS and TPS running on the Suns.
The biggest problem is that the fonts look alike, but have different names;
either system will protest the other's fonts.  The PC version is basically
the older WPS.
