I'm curious whether support exists for sparcstation's 10& 20 yet. Any comments?
OpenBIOS can be used as the BIOS for QEMU and for this combination, SS-10 and SS-20 work pretty well.
If instead you'd like to use OpenBIOS as a replacement for the OBP, then this is not supported. It would be possible to replace QEMU specific parts (for example fw_cfg) with bare metal versions, but so far nobody has been interested enough to start hacking. Being able to run on real HW would certainly improve the level of realism, for example SBus probing is not implemented.
Am I missing something, or do the QEMU SS-10 and SS-20 not have the CS4231 wired up as a serial console?
I don't think real SS-10/20 used CS4231 (Crystal semi audio) either, that was only on SS-5. Maybe you are thinking of the AMD serial/audio/ISDN chip, DBRI? That one is not implemented. The console uses Zilog serial.
