Ubuntu still has sparc ther same way they still have powerpc, it is in the
ports directory on the cd image mirrors.

This is on mirror.linux.org.au (hosted at ANU)

disco:/srv/ubuntu-releases/ports/8.04# ls -l *sparc* 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root ftpmaster 614707200 2008-04-24 05:04 ubuntu-8.04-alternate-sparc.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 root ftpmaster     23686 2008-04-24 19:22 ubuntu-8.04-alternate-sparc.iso.torrent
-rw-r--r-- 1 root ftpmaster    122880 2008-04-24 19:22 ubuntu-8.04-alternate-sparc.jigdo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root ftpmaster     86716 2008-04-24 05:04 ubuntu-8.04-alternate-sparc.list
-rw-r--r-- 1 root ftpmaster  10238831 2008-04-24 05:04 ubuntu-8.04-alternate-sparc.template

Which is served from the directory
http://mirror.linux.org.au/ubuntu-releases/ports/8.04
