I now have a fix:

Install following packages (you may get away with fewer, but this works for me):

      software                    localrev
      binutils                        2.17
        common        1.4.6,REV=2008.04.28
         expat                      1.95.7
    fontconfig        2.3.2,REV=2005.11.04
     freetype2       2.1.10,REV=2005.12.11
      gcc3core                       3.4.5
    gcc3corert                       3.4.5
       gcc3g++                       3.4.5
     gcc3g++rt                       3.4.5
       gcc3g77                       3.4.5
     gcc3g77rt                       3.4.5
            gd                      2.0.33
           gdb          6.6,REV=2007.05.13
      ggettext       0.14.1,REV=2005.06.29
         gmake                        3.81
       gnuplot       4.0.23,REV=2008.04.07
          gsed                       4.1.4
       isaexec                         0.1
          jpeg           6b,REV=2007.10.28
      libiconv                       1.9.2
       ncurses          5.5,REV=2006.02.10
    openssl_rt   0.9.8,REV=2007.12.26_rev=g
       pkg_get                       3.8.4
           png       1.2.29,REV=2008.05.08
      readline          5.0,REV=2005.06.07
       texinfo          4.8,REV=2006.01.10
           top          3.6,REV=2007.01.01
          wget         1.11,REV=2008.02.08
           xpm         3.4k,REV=2002.12.31
          zlib        1.2.3,REV=2007.05.12

Get ftp://ftp.octave.org/pub/octave/octave-3.0.1.tar.bz2
Unpack it.
Apply octave-3.0.1ange.patch (attached also available at
http://ange.dk/~tange/octave-3.0.1ange.patch).
cd octave-3.0.1;
patch -p1 < octave-3.0.1ange.patch
(may require newer version of patch that Solaris has)

PATH=/opt/csw/gcc3/bin/:/opt/csw/bin/:/usr/bin:/bin
export PATH
./configure && gmake
gmake check

This should give 17 failed tests related to regexp, convhulln,
__delaunayn__, regexp(i) and HDF5-support.

Thanks to John W. Eaton for helping solve this.
