IIRC Sparc userland is 32-bit regardless of whether the Linux kernel is
64-bit or not.  That may have changed recently.

It exists:
 
  http://sparc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-sparc/dists/hoary/main/installer-sparc/current/doc/manual/en/

It will likely never be 'offical', however, as you've probably noticed it
has a *.ubuntu.com domain and 'fabbione' who did the port is the kernel-lead
for the Ubuntu team...
