+Installing pkgsrc on IRIX 5.3 requires some preparation.
+First, if necessary, get the IRIX 5.3 IDO (cc etc.) from SGI at
+ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/IRIX5.3/iris-development-option-5.3.tardist and
+install it using IRIX's Software Manager. While you're at it you might also
+want to install any missing patches from ftp://ftp.sgi.com/support/Patches/5.3.
+Get ftp://ftp.mayn.de/pub/really_old_stuff/irix/ido/dev* and install the
+missing dev.sw.abi and dev.sw.irix_speclibs subpackages.
+Note that IRIX 5.3's ftp does not support passive ftp (to my knowledge), so
+if you are behind a firewall (and you better make sure you are with IRIX
+5.3!) you might need to first transfer the files to another local machine.
+Furthermore, get Y2k patches from e.g.
+ftp://ftp.mayn.de/pub/really_old_stuff/irix/oldstuff/ if you haven't
+installed them already.
+
+To date, pkgsrc expects the SGI IDO cc and might run into problems when
+using gcc.
+With IDO cc and the necessary supporting tools and development files
+installed you can run bootstrap to create the essential pkgsrc tools,
+notably bmake. Once this is done you will find mk.conf.example to start
+your mk.conf pkgsrc configuration file from. You might want to add
+CFLAGS+=-O2 (or if you are using an R4K machine -O2 -mips2)
+and
+DBG=
+
+Unfortunately many of IRIX 5.3's native tools do not provide
+functionalitites that pkgsrc expects. It is therefore necessary to install
+the respective GNU tools for cp, grep, id, mkdir, test, touch, which,
+and xargs. To avoid conflicts you might want to do so under a differtent
+directory hierarchy than pkgsrc (in the following example
+--prefix=/usr/local is assumed). Obtain and install the following GNU
+software:
+- GNU findutils (4.2.23 is know to install)
+- GNU grep (2.5.1a works, but you have to apply the patch from
+pkgsrc/textproc/grep/patches/patch-ab; either do so manually by editing the
+appropriate source file or first install GNU patch [2.5.4 works fine]. This
+will probably be fixed with later releases. You should configure GNU grep
+with --disable-nls and do not bother when make stops when it cannot find
+makeinfo; just proceed with make install)
+- GNU coreutils (5.21 installs out of the box)
+- GNU which (2.16 works; be sure to configure with CC="cc -Xcpluscomm")
+
+These tools can be installed independently of bootstrapping. To make them
+accessible to pkgsrc make sure your mk.conf contains something like this:
+
+.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}id)
+TOOLS_PLATFORM.id=${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}id
+.else
+TOOLS_PLATFORM.id=/usr/local/bin/id
+.endif
+.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}mkdir)
+TOOLS_PLATFORM.mkdir=${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}mkdir -p
+.else
+TOOLS_PLATFORM.mkdir=/usr/local/bin/mkdir -p
+.endif
+.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}grep)
+TOOLS_PLATFORM.grep=${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}grep
+.else
+TOOLS_PLATFORM.grep=/usr/local/bin/grep
+.endif
+.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}cp)
+TOOLS_PLATFORM.cp=${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}cp
+.else
+TOOLS_PLATFORM.cp=/usr/local/bin/cp
+.endif
+.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}test)
+TOOLS_PLATFORM.test=${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}test
+.else
+TOOLS_PLATFORM.test=/usr/local/bin/test
+.endif
+.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}touch)
+TOOLS_PLATFORM.touch=${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}touch
+.else
+TOOLS_PLATFORM.touch=/usr/local/bin/touch
+.endif
+.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}xargs)
+TOOLS_PLATFORM.xargs=${LOCALBASE}/bin/${GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX}xargs -r
+.else
+TOOLS_PLATFORM.xargs=/usr/local/bin/xargs -r
+.endif

+IRIX 5.3 IDO does not come with a c++ compiler. For packages that require
+c++ you can get the GNU c++ compiler, g++, which is part of the gcc
+distribution. Gcc 3.4.4 is known to bootstrap on IRIX 5.3. To activate it,
+add the following lines to your mk.conf:
+
+.if defined(USE_LANGUAGES) && !empty(USE_LANGUAGES:Mc++)
+CXX=g++
+USE_TOOLS+=cxx
+TOOLS_PLATFORM.cxx=/usr/local/bin/g++
+TOOLS_CMD.cxx=${TOOLS_DIR}/bin/g++
+.endif
