As I said privately before, sunfreeware is only one place. sunsite.unc.edu is somewhat more comprehensive.
download the binaries as packages, pkgadd and go .
there is a suitable version of gzip , possibly as a .pkg.Z but you have compress.
As to process, I don't think it fair to ask the list for that kind of handholding.
Go get the packages and yes, those are all the right things you need for Postgres.
Your alternative, if you are stuck with Sun hardware and can't deal with this,
is run Linux on your Sun.
