I was incorrect in my first post because he referred to natty in the OP.
4.5 is available as a package in Maverick 10.10:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/g++-4.5
Using apt-get to install should pull in all required dependencies:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.5

As a test, I've just installed it:

$ apt-cache policy g++-4.5
g++-4.5:
  Installed: 4.5.1-7ubuntu2
  Candidate: 4.5.1-7ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 4.5.1-7ubuntu2 0
