I managed to create a directory for sparc/5.10/ with loads of *pkg.gz and the catalog and descriptions. I configured pkgutil to access that directory "top" and installed many packages. I have a genuine, self made package for the above desired program, but it won't start because there is no libgfortran.so.*. Alas, there is no CSWgcc4gfortranrt in the catalog.

Manually download the package from
http://csw.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/oldpkgs/allpkgs/ and pkgadd it?
