There are ports for Firefox 3.5/3.6 and 4.0(..5.0 in -current now), the older 3.5/3.6 don't explicitly disable building on 32-bit SPARC however it may not compile and run for various reasons.. portability and/or other constraints.

Firefox has dropped Sparc64 from version 4.0 so there is no more Firefox for Sparc64 (please refer to ports@openbsd). I am not sure if the WebKit is compiling but Konqueror might be the only full blown browser available on Sparc64 these days. NetSurf (still not updated to 2.7 even though the patch has been submitted) is probably the best choice for daily surfing as long as one doesn't need JavaScript
