No, you will need to port FPC to those targets. The BSD rtls are afaik not
Sparc ready.  (though there is not that much architecture dependent, and

FreeBSD is generally more advanced, but Netbsd and openbsd are usually more
non x86 friendly. However that is old sentiment, I don't know the current
situation.
