Sure it is:
$ ls -l /usr/sbin/dig
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 75208 Jul 29 2008 /usr/sbin/dig
$ fgrep /usr/sbin/dig /var/sadm/install/contents
/usr/sbin/dig f none 0555 root bin 75208 48119 1217333315 SUNWbind
(that's a 9.3.5-P1 dig, from a not very up-to-date Solaris 10 installation,
but it's been around in Solaris distributions much longer than that).
