Give Aurora a try.  It's a port of the Fedora over to Sparc.  Soon
Sparc will be a secondary arch of Fedora and then you can just use
Fedora.

They are a tad bit behind in being based on FC-3 (for stable, FC6 for
"development"), but as stated above they'll soon be /much/ closer to the
Fedora releases, and be more open to community contribution.
