No, it's actually very simple and works on any architecture.
As root:
# apt install sbuild devscripts
# sbuild-createchroot unstable /srv/chroot/sid-sparc64-sbuild --alias=sid \
--keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-ports-archive-keyring.gpg \
http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports
# sbuild-adduser $YOURUSER
Then, as your normal user ($YOURUSER):
$ mkdir firefox-build
# cd firefox-build
# dget -u http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20181003T162948Z/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_62.0.3-1.dsc
# wget https://bug1434726.bmoattachments.org/attachment.cgi?id=8947275 -O align-fix.diff
# cd firefox-62.0.3
# patch -p1 < ../align-fix.diff
# dpkg-source --commit (enter a desired patch name, then opens an editor; just save and close)
# dch -i 'Add patch to fix alignment on sparc64'
# dch -r ''
# sbuild -d sid --arch=sparc64 --no-arch-all
