Take a look at the file etc/SUN-SUPPORT in the gnu emacs distribution.
A few things here may be of help. In particular, it has a patch for
the sun termcap entry to enable multi-line inserts and deletes. If you
can't find it, just add this line to your termcap entry for sun:

        :AL=\E[%dL:DL=\E[%dM:IC=\E[%d@:DC=\E[%dP:\

There's a lot of other good stuff described here as well, such as
enabling mouse support, using server mode, etc.
