Official Sun comment: IAW the License Agreement, you can only use the 
VR OSRCD on a VR-SKUd box, and the RaQ4 OSRCD on a RaQ4-SKUd box.

Unofficial info: The current VR is based the RaQ4i platform, with an 
extra dual Ethernet PCI card installed at the factory.  I personally 
have rebuilt my VR into a RaQ4i with no problems. (I did remove the PCI 
card first, though, as I don't think there are drivers for it on the 
RaQ4 OSRCD and I didn't want any "problems"... you _might_ be able to 
leave it in; you're on your own with it though...)
