www.sunfreeware.com is your friend.  Download what you need and install it with the Sun package manager.  Almost everything ends up in /usr/local so it doesn't clobber anything included in the Solaris intallation.  Great if you don't have the time, patience, or know-how for compiling things from scratch.

Hi Brian,
I'm trying to compile the client, on a fresh install of solaris 10, but I keep getting this error, would you know why?

Checking your make-utility
GNU make is required to build Xymon.
If it is available as "gmake", run configure as: 'MAKE=gmake ./configure.client'
