Don't know if this is useful to you or not, but I just (two days ago)
downloaded & installed 2.4.2p2 from freeware.sgi.com with no problems
under 6.5.18m & it works great!

If you do this, you'll at least need (based on the conflicts I had):

fw_amanda-2.4.2p2.tardist            
fw_libxpm-3.4k.tardist
fw_bzip2-1.0.1.tardist               
fw_libz-1.1.4.tardist
fw_gawk-3.1.1.tardist               
fw_plotutils-2.4.1-sgipl1.tardist
fw_gnuplot-3.7.1-sgipl2.tardist      
fw_readline-4.3.tardist
fw_libpng-1.0.14.tardist             
fw_tar-1.13.25-sgipl1.tardist

By default it installs to run under user root, but if you want to run
it under user amanda, there's a bit in the install instructions on the
web site about installing the correct pieces from the
fw_amanda-2.4.2p2.tardist.

Good luck!

I've been running amanda 2.4.1p1 under Irix 6.5.x for several years now
with no problems.  I recently upgraded to 2.4.3.
