Yes, though we're working on a new release.  Here's how you can get around
the install problem on the SGI, from our Frequently Asked Questions list at
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/faq.html

   14. How can I build netCDF for SGI under IRIX 5.x? 

       We tested the netCDF installation on IRIX 4.0 which used a BSD-style
       install, but with IRIX 5.2, the flags on the install utility
       changed. To get around this, you need to define the INSTALL
       configuration variable before building netCDF from the source
       distribution.  How to do this is explained in the installation
       documents. INSTALL should be defined as

            /usr/bin/X11/bsdinst

       which, according to the IRIX 5.2 man pages is an install that uses
       BSD-style arguments.  Then rerun the configure script and redo the
       make all.
