Unfortunately, it creates two APIs, one linux-except-sparc32,64 and
   one linux-sparc-32,64+sunos. Is it possible to get these offsets
   somewhere (except Sun X server)?

The best we could do is provide them via kernel header files.

And even then they would be macros describing the physical offsets you
would pass to mmap for each area of the cards I/O and framebuffer
space, and GGI would need to know the name of these macros for each
card and the meaning behind what is mapped at that offset.

Face it, you're going to need to put explicit knowledge of the mmap
offset scheme of each card as well as the details of the hardware
programming itself to support Sun framebuffers in the library.
