Actually, the cost is free (yeah open source!):

and QEMU though it's support for sparc32 (I'm guessing they mean sparcv8) is not

And the OP doesn't necessarily want x86 virtualization on SPARC, maybe they
would like to run Ubuntu/SPARC inside (on-top-of) Solaris/SPARC, which you can
do with QEMU.
