AFAIK, qemu only supports 32-bit SPARC, while Solaris 10 and later only supports 64-bit SPARC (UltraSPARC II and later, due to a bug in the UltraSPARC I that can lock them up in 64-bit mode). http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/status.html seems to suggest that 64-bit SPARC support has been worked on at least a little, and may happen eventually. Someone, whether at blastwave, or Sun, or whatever, should be able to give you access to a SPARC system to build the software you want (if it hasn't already been done!).
