O.K. I just realized I missed the "sparse tree" in your question. I
assume you mean by this org-mode definition of "sparse trees" (i.e.,
trees with visibility limited to certain TODO, tags, or regexp matches)?
I don't recall anything like org-mode sparse trees in the vim outliner,
but it may have changed since I last used it.

You can export only the visible portions of an org-mode outline by
typing "C-c C-e v [SPACE]", but this will create a new, independent
org-mode buffer. Any changes you make in this buffer will not affect the
original file.
