Being a Qt application, Scribus builds on Solaris 10 without much trouble. The only thing that deserves some attention is its CUPS dependency.
If no local CUPS installation is present – and on a stock Solaris 10 system there isn't – it is necessary to build one first. Note that this does not mean that CUPS has to be the system's print spooler, because it can be used in client-only mode. In this case it can use another CUPS server on the net or even Solaris 10's IPP service which is not based on CUPS but should be compatible. This means that cupsd does not have to run locally at all.
The rest of the build is straightforward.
I used the following prerequisite packages in addition to CUPS and Qt – all of them installed from source with prefix /usr/local/dist:
The GNU make version in use was 3.80. GCC, if used, was 4.5.2. The build took place on a Solaris 10 x86 machine, but there is no reason why it shouldn't work on SPARC.
Scribus recommends GCC and also uses some hard-coded GCC flags, so a GCC ABI should be preferred when building Qt, appropriately indicated by the installation prefix.

(It is necessary to include an explicit library path to GCC's directory if libraries in /usr/sfw/lib are used, because on Solaris 10 an older GCC library is in that directory.) |
Scribus needs a little patch to prevent the use of glibc API (Solaris would provide equivalent functions in walkcontext and cplus_demangle, but it's not really important):
