Sí, cualquier Linux que corra en Sparc hoy en día los soporta. No usan,
sin embargo, el modo de 64 bits, sino que el de 32 (manteniendo
compatibilidad con las Sparc de siempre).

Te sugiero leer:

http://www.debian.org/ports/sparc/
http://www.debian.org/ports/sparc64/

Cito un par de párrafos:

========================================
About 64 bit SPARC support

The Debian SPARC port, as mentioned above, does support the sun4u
("Ultra") architecture. It uses a 64-bit kernel (compiled with a special
version of the egcs compiler, called "egcs64"), but most of the
applications run in 32-bit. This is also called a "32-bit userland".

The Debian SPARC 64 (a.k.a. "UltraLinux") porting effort is not currently
conceived as a full porting effort like other ports. Rather, it is
intended to be an add-on to the SPARC Port.

In fact, there is really no point in having all applications running in
64-bit mode. Full 64-bit mode involves a significant overhead (memory and
disk size) with often no benefit. Some applications really can benefit
from being in 64-bit mode, and that is the purpose of this porting effort
