'info all-registers' prints all the registers including the floating point
registers. 

sample output from 'info all-registers'

f4             2.8125   (raw 0x40340000)        20
f5             0        (raw 0x00000000)
f6             -NaN(0x7fffff)   (raw 0xffffffff)        -NaN(0xfffffffffffff)
f7             -NaN(0x7fffff)   (raw 0xffffffff)

The first two columns represent the single-precision value in decimal and hex,
and the third column gives double precision value of the pair <fx, fx+1>

look at the function sparc_print_register_hook() in sparc-tdep.c. 
Looks like the call to print the double-precision register is made from here. 
There is support to print the quad-precision register also, but is in comments.
