You don't want a NetBSD-sparc64 system in that case:
1.) NetBSD-sparc64 currently doesn't support UltraSPARC III CPUs.
2.) NetBSD-sparc64 currently doesn't support SMP.

You will therefore not be able to find hardware supported by NetBSD-sparc64
which is (significantly) faster than the Mac. I wouldn't be surprised if
most or even all of the support systems are actually slower.

Please consider getting a faster Mac or a PC. G4 Mac clocked at less than
867MHz and G3 Macs should be cheap on eBay these days because they aren't
support by Mac OS X Leopard.

        Kind regards
