Solaris (amd other comercial Unixes) continue the trend of adopting more and more "open source" software.
gzip is always installed on Solaris (8 or later).
The GNU tar and other utilities are an optional install for Solaris and are availablle with the Solaris CDs with the "Software Companion" cd.
The contents of the companion CD are installed at /opt/sfw/ (i.e. /opt/sfw/bin/gtar, ...).
The contents of the companion CD for Solaris is also available from the web at:
http://www.sunfreeware.com/companioncd.html
Many other "FreeWare" for Solaris are available at:

Older Solaris versions of "gzip" can be downloaded from:
* Solaris 2.5.1
http://www.sunfreeware.com/solaris_2.5_list.html#gzip
* Solaris 2.6
http://www.sunfreeware.com/programlist.html#gzip
* Solaris 7:

Besdies, AFAIK Solaris doesn't come with gzip (but I might be wrong
here, been ages since I've done Solaris) either, so maybe the best
solution is really
# gtar zxvf tarball.tar.gz
Just my 2c,
