I wonder if after that, the copies that were distributed under GPL could still be distributed as such. Are the GPL kernel and system library sources still available to download from somewhere (like archive.org or maybe a Solaris fan's website)?

Yes, they could, but no significant part of OpenSolaris was GPL -- it was all, as much as possible, CDDL. When Oracle killed OpenSolaris that did not cause the previously CDDL'ed code to be no-longer open source, and indeed, there was a fork: Illumos.
