Is illumos or SmartOS an option? Info from Bryan Cantrill:

http://dtrace.org/blogs/bmc/2017/09/04/the-sudden-death-and-eternal-life-of-solaris/

Following a few links from that article to https://illumos.org/docs/about/distro/ , I see that

derived systems claim to have SPARC builds: Tribblix, DilOS, and V9os.

Yep .. been there and read that. Even if any of those did work at all we
are going in a circle and landing back on some Solaris thing. That is
not really of any value any more. It is beginning to sound a lot like
Oracle sold a whack of machines to people about ten years ago and they
are all dead pieces of trash and junk today. Nothing runs there any
more.
