You can check the code - that historically it was taken releases 
from https://gdcproject.org/downloads

But when GDC joined official GCC - these releases are not 
preparing anymore. And the suggested way to install GDC is from 
GCC packages.

I don't think there are plans for revamping GDC binaries 
preparation, if only somebody from community will step-in for 
this task.

Solus doesn't build GCC with flags that include D compiler.
What you can do - find another Solus GCC language (for example 
Ada) that is not the part of main GCC package - and try to 
prepare similar package for D
