scons for haiku can be downloaded here:
http://ports.haiku-files.org/downloads
It's #70 on the list as I write this.
You'll need to have python installed as well, that's available here:
http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/8/23/2062382/python-2.5.2-gcc2-2008-11-10.zip
If you run into any other dependencies just let us know and we'll add
them to the list of port targets...
