It turns out to be a fairly minor patch to do it on-the-fly.
With the attached, I've gotten my NLS-testing patch to pass
on OpenIndiana.  We end up with this in $INSTALL/share/locale/:

That's probably more links than we'd bother with in a curated
list, but it's not a huge number.

The attached patch only addresses the autoconf/make case.
I might be missing something, but so far as I can find,
meson wraps up the entire build/installation process for
translation files into a black box without user-serviceable
parts.  So the lack of translation on Solaris is their bug
to fix.

I'm inclined to commit this and call it good.  Probably
we should back-patch, too, despite the lack of field
complaints.
