No, it's not. (For starters, Solaris 7 includes X11R6 & Motif 2.1,
which are used by it's version of CDE - 2.5.1 only includes X11R5 and
Motif 1.2.)

Because it is impossible to predict the future, Solaris 2.5.1 is not FORWARD
compatible with Solaris 7 binaries. Any Solaris 7 binaries that run on Solaris
2.5.1 are the result of PURE DUMB LUCK. There is a 99.9% chance that even if
you manage to get it installed, it probably won't run when you try to start
it.

This won't work. If you were on 2.6, you could
install the Solaris Desktop Extensions to get most
of the functionality.

No, but there is a version of CDE that came with the server pak of later
releases of 2.5.1. If you could get a copy of that, you could install
CDE on 2.5.1.
