In the default kernel, Port Forward is neither compiled in nor compiled as module. You can proceed with this link and compile your kernel. It is not a lots of reading (only a few paragraphs). http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/sparc/ch-post-install.en.html#s-kernel-baking Kernel compilation is not that bad. Only a few commands.
