No, it is currently not possible, since the support for T2000 appeared 
only recently, and is scheduled to be included in mainstream kernel 
2.6.17. Once it is released, Debian will support this machine, but only 
in unstable, unless someone will care to do the backporting of the new 
kernel to sarge. To the best of my knowledge currently only Ubuntu 
sparc port has support for T2000, since they have merged the required 
patches into their kernel already.
