Yes. Look at the Makefile, it checks for native threads (in -current), if
that fails it enables --with-mit-threads for the platforms that are known to
work with that. Unfortunately mit-pthreads do not have support for sparc64.

I guess your best bet is to go to -current (which is a bit shaky right now).
I'd wait untill the gcc3.3 integration is done and things calmed down a bit,
and then try current. The new compiler fixes *tons* of problems on sparc64
in various pkgs (and the native threads seem to work pretty well on sparc64
too).
