While OpenSolaris 2008.05 is only two months old, work at Sun is already underway in preparing for the second OpenSolaris release, which will be known as OpenSolaris 2008.11 and has been codenamed Jericho.

Are they ever planning on releasing an Ultrasparc version? They are talking about the next release when there still is no current release for the hardware that Sun itself makes.
Yes, it's planned later. Focusing on a single platform was necessary for resource and time reasons.
Since a good portion of developers are on x86, and the target audience is likely running x86, not SPARC, it made more sense to focus on x86.
