First of all, please trim your quoted text.

You need to use pkgadd, not patchadd.

# pkgadd -d /gcc/gcc-3.0.1-sol8-intel-local

assuming the file is in /gcc on your system of course. 

You'll need to hit enter 2 or 3 times when prompted, once for the package
name (it will be the only one listed), then for running something as root,
and possibly once for changing permissions on /usr/local/* directories.
This last one, on the "conflicting attributes" prompt, can safely be
answered "n" in many cases.

You may also wish to use the gcc 2.95.3 release instead of 3.0.1 ... see
the red type at http://www.sunfreeware.com/programlistsparc8.html#gcc
