After looking around a bit in the HP support site for HP-UX, I found the patches that were required (the ones that had gethrtime) for HP-UX 11i. The patches are PHCO_24402 and PHCO_25452. These are the replacements for the patches PHCO_23770 and PHCO_23092 that are needed for HP-UX 11.0 (and are mentioned in the Oracle installation document) that Stefan pointed out in the previous posting.

Thanks to everyone for your responses that got me going in the right direction.
