I have some idea for the Linux and *BSD packagers, but do not recall any 
contact with any of the Unix vendors (other than random newsgroup comments 
which generally are a waste of bandwidth).

no - if you have a compiler it shouldn't be hard to do:

I would do something like this:

        configure --with-shared --with-caps=hpux11 --program-prefix=n
        make
        make install.progs install.data install.libs

to install tic as "ntic", make the terminfo compatible with HPUX and 
install the shared libraries.
