Debian does indeed have an nis package available for the sparc
architecture:
Package: nis
Priority: extra
Section: net
Installed-Size: 716
Maintainer: Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>
Architecture: sparc
Version: 3.9-6.1

Pre-Depends: debconf (>= 0.2.17)

MD5sum: 8b38cd4b37a31316457312c7fac6b1ce
Description: Clients and daemons for the Network Information Services
(NIS).
The nis package allows you to use the NIS services from a NIS server or
to set up your own NIS server. NIS is mostly used to let several machines
in a network share the same account information (eg the password file).
NIS was formerly called Yellow Pages (YP).
