It is possible to upgrade to unstable by adding debian ports to /etc/apt/sources.list. sparc is still an official port and this probably indicates that it still has a buildd. Some care is needed in updating. Typically, one needs to update binutils, gcc, glibc and perl first.I installed a minimum system from CD, and then I put the debian archive mirror in my /etc/apt/sources.list. This way you still can install packages from the internet - but since they are Lenny packages, they aren't up to date, of course.
