I've just installed Grass 5.4pre1 on an almost clean Solaris 9 box with the 
following steps - no changes to configure:

Download and install packages from sunfreeware (those marked with an * may not 
have been necessary after all - other versions are already installed under /
usr/sfw):

bison
flex
freetype *
gcc
libiconv *
libpng *
make
mesa
tcl *
tk *
zlib *
jpeg *
readline
tar

With PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin

download then configure; make; make install the following packages:
R
postgres
proj
fftw
unixODBC
gdal

Then from the grass directory:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure --with-includes="/usr/sfw/include /usr/local/pgsql/include" \
                 --with-libs="/usr/sfw/lib /usr/local/pgsql/lib"
make 
make install

works fine.

It would be nice if grass was also a simple configure; make; make install.
If configure would look for postgress in /usr/local/pgsql and include /usr/
sfw/{include,lib} on solaris it would be good.

Gordon
