Have a look at the freebsd-sparc64 mailing list, where this was
discussed recently.
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-sparc64/2010-January/006935.html is discussing this same problem.
Short answer: it seems to be caused by a bug in the hardware, which also
affects Linux and occasionally Solaris. We don't seem to have a
workaround in FreeBSD for it yet. This only affects some versions of
the hardware, I have a V480 that doesn't show the problem at all.
I'm not sure, but looking at the Sun BugID the problem may only affect
one of the two on-board network cards - have you tried just using just
one of them? In the meantime, you should be able to use a different
network card int he machine.
