Those systems use the Sparc CPU architecture which is not compatible with
x86.

        Is there something in the works for Fedora ?


 Look for "Aurora Linux" which is the closest you can come to Fedora on
Sparc at the moment.

Would the Ubuntu work in this area benefit the Fedora folks ?


Of course. They use the same code-base, so any improvements will be shared.

Will RHAS version X support this at a later date (not to distant future) ?


That's for RH to decide. I wouldn't count on it to happen soon.
There seems to be a port of CentOS for Sparc though...
