Not really :-(
Only few packages are available, most of them to help in port (developers
packages like libc-dev, make, gcc, ...).
Especially there is no X support at all.  It's far from a release.
Notice that you can install it: there is netboot support to bootstrap your
system.
If you have time to spent on the port you can reach our mailing list:
  debian-sparc@lists.debian.org

Regards.
