Well, I run OpenBSD on a SS5 (85MHz) and it is quite fast. Hell, I run 
it on a Classic (but it's not what I would call fast) for my firewall, I 
will probably upgrade to an SS5 when I start running a VPN.

I don't think FreeBSD had a SPARC port in their last release, but one 
may be in development.

NetBSD runs on anything, so you could also run that. But I haven't tried 
it personally.

I think a SS10 running *BSD would be fine.
