To bootstrap other systems once dpkg is compiled, you can
create a solaris package of dpkg with "pkgmk(1)".

Just try to compile it, I've seen since I tried some post in
the dpkg mailing list some mail about changes to ease the
compilation on other unix.
(I had some trouble with vnsprintf but I had SunOS 5.5.1 and
dpkg 1.4 ... things have changed since). 

And let us know...
