That would probably be fine. What version is the native compiler,
assembler and linker? I'll assume it is ELF.
cc -v
ld -v
file /usr/bin/vi
will answer these questions.

The native compiler will be fine.
CVS checkout a FreeBSD 5-current src/sys somewhere.
You can then cd src/sys/sparc64/conf, create a mini kernel config,
config it (you'll have to build the FreeBSD config(8) somehow), and
compile it.

There is a hacked up miniloader running around. Maybe someone will give
you a pointer to it.
