As far as I know noone has compiled xfce in experimental for sparc.

Just add the experimental and unstable lines to your sources.list file
and then check that you can upgrade all the xfce4 stuff.  I haven't done
this in a while - I've forgotten if you need to actually force the
install or not - I'll have a play with a testing box at some point.
