Although it's hard to say (the Sun website doesn't realy give enough spec 
details), I'd be surprised if it doesn't work.  FreeBSD runs very nicely 
on every Intel- and amd64-based Sun machine I've tried it on.

You'll almost certainly want to use the FreeBSD amd64 release rather than 
i386, and I'd probably recommend 8.0-RELEASE, although 7.2 should work 
fine.

By the way, this is the wrong list for questions like this: if you have 
any others, you're probably best off directing them to 
freebsd-questions at FreeBSD.org
