There are some things going on with &os;/sparc64 port behind + the scenes.

+ +

For one, after having fixed all remaining problems and starting + with 9.2-RELEASE, release bits for this architecture are + cross-built on the &os; Project cluster. As one might already + have noticed, this means that from now on, sparc64 install sets + and images including those for ALPHA, BETA, and RC builds, are + already available along with those for the other platforms + supported by &os;. It also means that since August 2013, + automatically cross-built monthly &os;/sparc64 snapshots are + distributed via the official project mirrors. Hopefully, this + can be soon extended further with freebsd-update(8) + support for sparc64.

+ +

Second, the X.Org ports have been fixed to work on sparc64 when + built with WITH_NEW_XORG knob. However, it still needs + to be evaluated whether the recently committed update to Mesa + 9.1.6 has introduced any breakage.
