You probably can only run applications compiled for Motif. I suspect
not all applications compiled for Motif may run in Openlook. If that is
true then the Motif application will need to access the shared libraries
to run correctly in the Openlook environment.

You can compiled Motif apps with the base SOlaris 2.4 environment.

The last paragraph does not really make sense.  You can link the apps
dynamically on your own machine, if it is running Solaris 2.4 or >, and
distribute them to anyone else who is running Solaris 2.4 on the same
processor.  They will not run on 2.3, but everyone ought to get 2.4 anyway.

I wonder, does the SDK even include Xm.a ?  Sun in general does not
recommend static linking, but the OSF does not allow you to distribute
Xm.so, while it is acceptable to distribute statically linked versions.
What is Sun's position on static linking Xm?
