I don't know if theres a possibility of using a boot loader, but I have 
multibooted my sparc boxes from the OFW prompt by writing the primary OS 
into OFW config and booting into other OS's using the ofw prompt 
(stop-a) and then giving boot command with the disk/cdrom name I want to 
boot from. I think neither NetBSD or FreeBSD supports a boot loader on 
Sparc but I'm not 100% sure about that. After trying Slowlaris I'm 
running all my boxes with BSD's only though.
