I guess it'll be released when it's ready for release, and
nobody will be able to give you a more exact date. Remember,
this is not a commercial project. Only very few volunteers
work on the Sparc64 port at the moment in their spare time.
Not even the Alpha/AXP port has seen a "serious" release yet
(and there are only rough estimations for a release date),
and that port is considerably more advanced than the Sparc64
port.
If you need a BSD-style OS on your Sparc _now_, I'd suggest
that you look at NetBSD or OpenBSD.
Regards
Oliver
