sparc64 isn't on upstream's list of supported architectures
(https://golang.org/doc/install/source).
There's a third party fork adding this for an old version of go
(https://github.com/4ad/go) but even with this it's going to be a lot of
work to get something usable, and even then there will be problems building
many programs that bundle a "vendored" copy of standard go libraries that
will need updating before they can be used.
It's likely to be much easier to rewrite the tools you want in C than it is
to get go working.
Side note: if something isn't present in release packages on some
particular arch (but is present for other arch), it's not going to build
directly from ports either.

So, I was trying to follow a recipie online to get a mail server running
on an OpenBSD 6.6 box [1]. Among the packages it wants to install are
opensmtpd-filter-rspamd and opensmtpd-filter-senderscore. Those packages
don't exist, and I find that they do for amd64 and not sparc. So,
I thought I'd build them myself, but ports shows those as not supported
for sparc64, and I traced that back to go.
Does anyone know if there is a go for sparc64, or if there are known
issues that just need to be resolved? I'd be happy to help if I can,
but don't know go at all, and merely moderately good at understanding
architectural problems that I've seen affecting code working on sparc64
systems.
Thanks.
