This may not be what you want, but if you use the CSW package stack,
you can get git easily.  This is, I believe, a very complete git
installation.  There will soon be an update to 1.6.5.

http://www.opencsw.org/packages/git

If your intent is to build it yourself, let me know and I'll share
with you the build recipe I use, which will outline (within the CSW
stack) which packages are used for compilation and which for runtime
dependencies.  You should be able to translate it to use the
libs/tools available to solaris 10 (that aren't in 8, which we also
support).

So try installing libiconv? (I think the package name on Solaris is
SUNWgnu-libiconv)

application SMCliconv                        libiconv
