I tried the m4 package from sunfreeware. This did not do the trick. I 
finally built m4 on my own as follows:

        gunzip m4-1.4.13.tar.gz
        tar xvf m4-1.4.13.tar
        cd m4-1.4.13
        ./configure
        make
        make install

This worked an did the trick. I now have

        /usr/local/bin/avrdude

on my Solaris machine!

Thanks a lot,
