It should be do-able (with some amount of work!). You will need Python 3.2, OpenGL drivers and all the dependencies built for your platform.

You most certainly can install Linux on SPARC, e.g.
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/sparc/. Given that you’re unfamiliar with building Blender, you’d be better off using a supported OS
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Doc/Building_Blender/Linux rather than striking out on your own.
