Oh I wouldn't be too sure about that, it's a system provided binary on
my SunOS 4.0.3 box. (With the SysV option installed.)

BASENAME(1) USER COMMANDS BASENAME(1)
NAME
basename, dirname - display portions of pathnames and
filenames
SYNOPSIS
basename string [ suffix ]
dirname string
AVAILABILITY
The dirname command is available with the System V software
installation option. Refer to Installing the SunOS for
information on how to install optional software.
DESCRIPTION
basename deletes any prefix ending in / and the suffix, if
present in string. It directs the result to the standard
output, and is normally used inside substitution marks (` `)
within shell procedures.
dirname delivers all but the last level of the path name in
string.
EXAMPLES
This shell procedure invoked with the argument
/usr/src/bin/cat.c compiles the named file and moves the
output to cat in the current directory:
cc $1
mv a.out `basename $1 .c`
The following example will set the shell variable NAME to
/usr/src/cmd:
NAME=`dirname /usr/src/cmd/cat.c`
