HME is supported. But I am having a problem with my U1 (non-E) with an
HME add-in card. It would be great if you would try your U1E to see how
well we work on it. Several people I know have U1E's, but none have
tried FreeBSD on them yet. The on-board SCSI is not supported yet, so
you'll have to use an NFS /. This is not such a bad thing. I still use
NFS / for my ultrasparc and it does have a supported IDE and SCSI
devices.
I have no idea about the FB support -- all the main developers are using
serial console.

It would be great if you could try the latest kernels on your various
UltraSparc hardware so we can get a better idea of what works and what
doesn't.
