Check out UltraLinux site (www.ultralinux.org), there you can find information of distributions which support SPARC. Gentoo Linux seems to be most resent at the moment. There is also project called Aurora SPARC. Aurora is a project to port the current Red Hat packages to the SPARC, so I guess that is closest you can get.
