Hi,
I'm also trying to get XFS going on sparc64, with some luck at least...

I traced this to an apparent alignment error. Setting BMBT_USE_64 in
include/xfs_bmap_btree.h to 0 cures it, and xfs_repair runs fine (or
at least appears to).
I suspect that there are more issues with reading stuff from odd addresses
in the XFS code, though I haven't been able to pinpoint any others.
It seems kind of odd, since they say it runs on IA64 and I would guess
that it too would break from unaligned accesses...
