X -configure does NOT work on sparc hardware. Actually to be precise Xenocara
OpenBSD version of XOrg has now support for X -configure on sparc64. NetBSD uses ancient version of XOrg (pre-modular 6.9). I would do fresh minimal installation of NetBSD (cvs source and build stable as 5.02 release is full of bugs), then use pkgsrc to add modular XOrg. You should create xorg.conf by hand. NetBSD should have a template for that. If not read OpenBSD FAQ. NetBSD sparc64 port is full of bugs and in practical sense dead. I am not going to advocate OS which I use OpenBSD but when it comes to sparc hardware OpenBSD is second to none!
Cheers,
OKO
P.S. I have sparc station next to me but I use it mostly to debug compiling errors.
