Wireless being not yet supported in Solaris 10, I wouldn't bet on a back-port to Solaris 9 ... better use one of these ethernet/wifi bridge.

You could give auroura linux a shot. It's basically fedora for sparc. I've had pretty good luck running it on a couple Ultra 5's. I do have to say that I haven't tried to do wireless with it so I'm not sure if that will work.
