The sparc64 is ready for general use, and has been for quite a long time
now. As for the 32 bit version (aka NetBSD/sparc)... possibly not. I run
NetBSD/sparc64 on an Ultra 1 and Ultra 5 here, and really see no practical
reason for running 32bit on an Ultra. Perhaps if you need to run 32-bit
binaries that COMPAT_NETBSD32 in -current/sparc64 can't handle... other than
that... *shrug*
