Maybe not FreeBSD but both NetBSD and Solaris work very well on the 
Sparc 20, and they're available for free.  (Well, actually if your SS20 
has more than one CPU, you'd have to get a commercial license for 
Solaris 9, and shouldn't use the free license, since that's only for one 
CPU but I mean, it's hardly stealing candies from little children, is 
it... and reportedly Solaris 10 will be "open source" anyways, so what.)
