Right off the bat?  I'd guess Debian.  (That's a sparc32, right?)  Gentoo
and Slack also work there.  A number of distros have older versions for
Sparc as well... but unless I miss my guess, Deb is going to get you the
most bang for buck IMNASHO... (I much prefer Debs over Slackware's
packaging, and I *really* dislike having to compile the world on old
hardware.) 

http://www.linux.com/base/ldp/howto/SPARC-HOWTO-12.html would appear to be
the comprehensive list, so sayeth Google.  

Have fun!  Let us know how it works out.
