A number of alternatives come to mind.  If you are doing development
work for Debian then if you become a debian developer, I believe you can
get access to development machines including a couple of UltraSPARCs.
Alternatively, you said you are interested in experimenting using
Debian, why not use another architecture - it's virtually identical.
Alternatively if it has to be a SPARC based machine you could move your
main server over to another machine and use the one you already have (if
it's a standard Debian set up then it should only be config files to
move), use an emulator such as Qemu or a virtualisation technology like
vservers.
