Have you checked the syslog error messages in /var/adm/messages??
Have you run NRPE with the full path(s)  /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg    (replace /usr/local/nagios with 
wherever you installed it to)

On Solaris you can use 'truss' which is what shows you the system calls 
that are running, and will show any errors that the application has.
You would run at the prompt:

truss /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg


Also, you can run 'ldd' on the nrpe binary to see if it's missing any 
libraries (like openssl etc)
