Hi, A useful thing to do would be to watch the sparc buildd status page at http://buildd.debian.org/~jeroen/status/architecture.php?a=sparc and investigate why particular packages fail to build. In most cases it is some kind of transient failure, or package never was meant to be built on sparc. In "interesting" cases porting effort is required. I used to maintain the wiki page http://wiki.debian.org/SparcPorting to coordinate the effort. I don't anymore, and it's horribly out of date, so feel free to take over.
