Well, if you want a pre-compiled version there's blastwave:

$ pfexec pkgadd -d http://www.blastwave.org/pkg_get.pkg
$ pfexec /opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -i emacs

If you want to roll your own:

$ pfexec pkg install SUNWgcc
$ pfexec pkg install SUNWgccruntime
$ pfexec pkg install SUNWarc
$ pfexec pkg install SUNWbinutils

$ pfexec pkg install FSWxorg-headers
$ pfexec pkg install SUNWhea
$ pfexec pkg install SUNWsfwhea

There isn't a metacluster for installing GNU development tools.  I
suppose one could be created fairly easily.

Cheers,
