  Your sysadmin should learn to read an FAQ :-)

 1/ Notice the word "package"
 2/ libxml2 is not packaged for Solaris (yet ...).
 3/ You will have to recompile from the sources.

Simply grab the libxml2 tar.gz (ftp://xmlsoft.org/), unpack and run
  ./configure --prefix=...
  make
  make install

And no there is no libxml2-devel tarball because the libxml2 and libxml2-devel
packages are generated from the single libxml2 tarball.
