If you manage to flash cards to work on SPARC/Open Boot (if "only" 
flashing card is enough), you would still need drivers for SPARC for them.
So if there are working open drivers for other platforms, could be done,
if cards can be flashed and/or electrically changed or made to work on 
SPARC/Open Boot.
