As already mentioned in the Bug 760060, OpenSolaris doesn't support 32 bit SPARC machines, so you should use a qemu-system-sparc64 and not qemu-system-sparc. (Although booting [Open]Solaris to the command prompt is not possible with qemu-system-sparc64 yet)
Also --enable-kvm makes no effect when host arch <> guest arch. And there is no kvm support for SPARC.
