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.
