if we port 2.2.x we are doomed. 3.0 is the way to go. 3.0 also has a LOT more in terms of portability done from the work towards the alpha port. Still need to pick up those sparc arch books, i'll be doing that sometime this week. :) As far as availability/skills i'm not too available, but will probably spend 50% of my free time on this (which isn't a lot) What i know i can do: write sparc asm, (as soon as i get the books) wrapper libc some of the simple stuff in the low level kernel libraries i haven't done stuff with protected mode coding (page tables, iopl, etc.) but i hope to learn.
