Until it died recently I had a Sun Blade 100, circa late 2001 era, 500mhz Sparc IIe with 2 GB of ram, (2) 15 GB HD's, and the stock peripherals, including monitor, which I still use on Intel equipment; It ran flawlessly with both FreeBSD for sparc64, and OpenBSD; I think OpenBSD is the best choice as X works right away from the install.
See this link for downloading:
Index of /pub/OpenBSD/5.7/sparc64
Pick the install57.iso, burn it to a CD and boot that on your system.

DESCRIPTION
I2C is a two-wire bus developed by Philips used for connecting integrated circuits. It is commonly used for connecting devices such as EEP-
ROMs, temperature sensors, fan controllers, real-time clocks, tuners, and other types of integrated circuits.
The iic driver provides a uniform programming interface layer between I2C master controllers and various I2C slave devices. Each I2C master
controller attaches an iic framework; several slave devices can then be attached to the iic bus.
All I2C slave devices are uniquely identified by the address on the bus. The master accesses a particular slave device using its address.
System Management Bus (SMBus) protocol is also supported by emulating it with the I2C commands.
SUPPORTED MASTERS
A wide list of I2C masters are supported, among them are:
alipm(4) Acer Labs M7101 SMBus controller
acpismbus(4) ACPI SMBus Control Method Interface
amdpm(4) AMD768 Power Management Controller and AMD8111 System Management Controller

ausmbus(4)
cuda(4) support for CUDA microcontrollers found in many Power Macintosh and and compatible computers

nfsmb(4) NVIDIA nForce 2/3/4 SMBus controller and SMBus driver
ociic(4)
piixpm(4) Intel PIIX and compatible Power Management controller
slugiic(4)
viapcib(4)
SUPPORTED SLAVES
A wide list of slaves are supported, among them:
dbcool(4) dbCool(tm) family of environmental monitors and fan controllers
rs5c372rtc(4) RICOH RS5C372A and RS5C372B real-time clock

HISTORY
The I2C framework first appeared in NetBSD 2.0. OpenBSD support was added in OpenBSD 3.6. This manpage first appeared in NetBSD 6.0, it was
ported from OpenBSD.
AUTHORS
The I2C framework was written by Steve C. Woodford and Jason R. Thorpe for NetBSD and then ported to OpenBSD by Alexander Yurchenko
