did you check the archives at http://hpux.cae.wisc.edu or 
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu ?  A lot of the packages found
there come pre-compiled both statically and dynamically
and are packaged in update format.  BTW,  tar can
read update format but it does not do the magic
of installing in /system, /opt etc,  which in itself
is useful if you don't have privileges or just want
to check something out.  (it installs in ./system,
/opt etc).
