This isn't really the proper forum for this type of question (this
forums is for discussing the legacy SVR4 package tools).

You shouldn't need to do that.  pkg-config is in the IPS repository.

glagasse at shire:~$ pkg search -r pkg-config
INDEX      ACTION    VALUE                     PACKAGE
basename   file      usr/bin/pkg-config
pkg:/SUNWgnome-common-devel at 0.5.11-0.111
basename   file      usr/bin/pkg-config
pkg:/SUNWgnome-common-devel at 0.5.11-0.111

You can get pkg-config by running:

pfexec pkg install SUNWgnome-common-devel

You don't really mention any specific messages about which commands
aren't found so I can only guess at a cause but it seems likely that you
haven't installed a compiler and associated files in order to actually
build software.

pfexec pkg install gcc-dev

Is what I'd start with.  If you'd rather use the SunStudio compiler, you
can get that with pfexec pkg install sunstudioexpress
