Thats what the SUNWmysqlS package is for, it is intended to
be almost equivalent to the source rpm.  However rpm is both a build
and package system the SVR4 package system isn't.

The README.sfw file in the package does tell you how configure
was run.

In general you should find SUNW*S packages for much (but not all)
of the things in /usr/sfw.
