I'll point out that, even though that is not the case for this PARTICULAR
program... a potential way of solving this sort of thing, is to make the
top-level binary be a wrapper script, that does something along the
lines of 

export PATH=/opt/csw/gnu:$PATH
exec $0 $*

thus it would only affect the prorgram and its children, rather than the
user's environment at large.
