You have to find a project that supports that platform. The Unofficial BOINC Wiki has a table with that information. Scroll down the page about half way to get to the table.

U'r right.

I made a mistake.
It's not that Boinc can't run on Solaris SPARC64 platform.Just these projects have NOT the code running on Solaris SPARC64 platform.

Solaris has mostly the 64 bit libs and the 32 bit libs installed by default, so you could also let 32 bit applications (SPARC) running without any problems.
At the list which Kathryn has suggested is a link to the alpha and beta projects. There are also some projects listed there which supports Solaris.
