Sun4v runs a hypervisor as part of its firmware. On freebsd it
requires a different kernel from sparc64. Getting the same kernel to
work on both would require more re-work of sparc64 than I felt like
doing given that USIII isn't supported.
There isn't currently an ISO image being produced. Cross-building and
then netbooting from x86 is fairly painless. If that won't work for
you I can figure out how to generate an ISO.
