Just read about this while looking up Linux and BSD options for an E4500 I've acquired. I've been using Fedora on my laptop for a year or two now, so I'd be interested to try it out on server hardware too.
Aurora in that incarnation seems lifeless, and 'discontinued' according to DistroWatch. Is the Fedora SPARC project still alive?
Yes, we have quite a few packages built for Fedora 10, 11, and rawhide.
Unfortunately, we do not yet have the installer work completed, so we we do not have official images for any Fedora tree yet, which is why we haven't done announcements.
Dennis Gilmore might have some "install Aurora, yum update" recipes that work...

Right now the easiet way is do a minimal install of the F-9 beta http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/test/9- Beta/Fedora/sparc/ then grabbing the F-10 rpm from koji http://sparc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=27751
then you can yum update to the F-11 based tree.
if you want to update to rawhide then wait a few days. im going to get the rawhide tree uploaded this week. its ~ 30g so will take a couple of days to upload
