The 4.4BSD-Lite/-Lite2 is not a complete OS. It will not compile up for a Sun machine with little effort. There is a NetBSD port based on that code that will work on several machines. You'd have to check out www.netbsd.org to see if the Classic is one of them (from memory it's not, but they could have added to it). FreeBSD is (currently) i386 only. There are a number of ports underway, only one of which isn't using NetBSD sources and integrating them, as far as I know.
