necessary to compile new versions?

Hi,

I spent a better part of the afternoon compiling a newer version of Apache, 
PHP, etc. for my sparc-linux machine. I assume this is necessary but 
thought I'd at least ask after the fact: can one use packages pre-built for 
intel-linux on sparc machines running linux?
