Porting OS to SPARC (e.g. Linux, BSD, etc.) In the old days, it was a bit of  Black Art, mostly restricted to people at Sun or people who knew which bar stools to sit on (so they could ask questions of the RightPeople off the record ;>).

It's just gotten a lot easier. For formal documents for theUltraSPARC T1

As for where to ask those questions, there's the formal forum

Not that I'd discourage anyone from buying the appropriate lads and lassies a good drink to pick their brains, but it'll be a lot more helpful if the questions (for any OS port) start out on the OpenSPARC site. That way, one answer will go to a lot of people ;>
