For a long time, there have been discussions about why freebsd-update tools were not available to update/upgrade sparc64 port (for example, read this March 2010 thread on -sparc64 mailing list) :

But things are changing! Marius Stobl announced in his last EuroBSD trip report that freebsd-update tools will be ported to sparc64 architecture!
This is REALLY great news! Sincere thanks to Marius and Colin for their hard work.
