Even if you forget about 4.x for the moment, the "old pre-<sys/endian.h> 5.0" still holds. I expect that by time we release 5.0, we will officially support X.any -> X+1.0 upgrade paths (including cross-updates). I can even try to produce a release for "sparc64" on my i386 4.5 box, would you be willing to test it? (I guess that there will be some endianess issues with the generated boot images, but other than that it should be working.)
