I have not installed the binary distribution for solaris myself, but
it should be straight forward to download:

ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/3.13p/gnat-3.13p-sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1-bin.tar.gz

read the README, follow the instructions, set up necessary paths 
(if necessary) and away you go. If you have problems, please be specific.

If you want to compile it yourself you need the gcc 2.8.1 distribution 
(located at any GNU mirror) and 

ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/3.13p/gnat-3.13p-src.tgz

This is a somewhat more involving task, but according to some
necessary for Solaris 8. I myself have always run a self compiled
compiler. 

: There is another distribution for the Sun available but only in the
: Readmes and not at any of the gnat-mirrors.

This I don't know. References?
