Just for the record (or if someone else falls into the same problem), at
the end of the story I got it built and running with:

$ gzip -dc cups-filters-1.0.62.tar.gz | tar xf -
$ cd cups-filters-1.0.62
$ GLIB_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/sisis-pap/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/sisis-pap/lib/glib-2.0/include" export GLIB_CFLAGS
$ GLIB_LIBS="-L/usr/local/sisis-pap/lib -lglib-2.0" export GLIB_LIBS
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/sisis-pap/cups2/lib/pkgconfig/ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
$ LDFLAGS="-m64 -L/usr/local/sisis-pap/cups2/lib -L/usr/local/sisis-pap/lib -L/usr/local/gcc-492/lib/sparcv9 /data/users/guru/head/CUPS2/cups-filters-1.0.62/libiberty.a" export LDFLAGS
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/sisis-pap/cups2 --with-cups-config=/usr/local/sisis-pap/cups2/bin/cups-config --without-jpeg --without-tiff --without-png --disable-dbus --with-gs-path=/usr/local/sisis-pap/ghostscript-9.06/bin/gs
$ gmake
$ sudo gmake install

with some additional notes/changes:

- the static lib
  /data/users/guru/head/CUPS2/cups-filters-1.0.62/libiberty.a was fetched
  and compiled from https://toolbox-of-eric.googlecode.com/files/libiberty.tar.gz

- strcasestr.o was added to this libiberty.a from the gnulib sources;

- cups-filters-1.0.62/utils/cups-browsed.c must be commented out mostly due to missing
  function getifaddrs() in Solaris 10; I will dig later into this and
  perhaps rewrite the part using a getaddrinfo() loop;

- cups-filters-1.0.62/filter/pdftoraster.cxx needs a correct C++ declaration of strcasestr()
  (maybe this is normaly done from some header file in Solaris 11, like string.h);
