Ok...it seem ArcticFox also needs to be compile with
"SSP_SUPPORTED=no" in the Makefile before the line
.include "../../mk/bsd.prefs.mk"

It will run without but i had a few crashes on a few websites, that
didn't occur when SSP was disabled.

@David: could you possibly again add a patch to the pkgsrc Makefile for sparc64?
