As others have said, compatibility is OK. However, if you go compiling
either xgrass or the src.contrib code under Sol2.4, then numerous minor
src code changes are needed. For example, despite this list having beaten to
death the problem with including <strings.h> instead of <string.h>, that
glitch still slipped through into Update 5. When the Grass folks advise us
to use the bug report script, they mean it! Our installation may be
idiosyncratic, but I had to link in some quite obscure libraries in order to
keep ld happy. If anyone gets stuck, try 

        -L/usr/local/src/gnu.old/lib -liberty
        -L/usr/ccs/lib -lgen
        -L/usr/local/opt/SUNWspro/SC3.0/lib -lfast
