Unfortunately for closed games you'd have to set up two machines.  One for 
the bnetd services - I prefer NetBSD Sparc for that, and one for the D2GS 
service which is a Windows only service due to the fact that it runs on 
a .dll file.  Wine would work but that hogs resources on a small Sparc and 
I don't even know if you can run that without an actualy display.  'Course 
you could use an Intel 'BSD box and do both but then you wouldn't be using 
a Sun. ;-)

Open games run fine though.
