1. Yes, It will run on UltraSPARC 1's (Ultra 1/2) And UltraSPARC 2  
Processors.
I have seen it run on a E250 Dual Proc machine.  I was never able to get
X running, but the base OS runs just fine.  I was running  
Apache/Postfix/MySQL
on an Ultra 5 and others just fine.

See  
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.2.1R/hardware-sparc64.html#SUPPORT- 
SYS

2. Yes.
