100 GB data warehouse, is that the raw data or the total disk space you think you will have ?

The system tablespace is never a big one, in fact its size depend a lot on the version of Oracle you're using. Between 200 and 300 megs.

In the other hands the temp tablespace in a datawarehouse is a big one.
Will your fact tables be partitionned ?
Do you have a lot of aggregates ?
Will you grind a lot of data ?
Around 1.5 time the largest table is a good start.

For the rollback segment, it depends on how much data you will load .

In your case, the sort_area_size will be less important than hash_area_size. I increased the hash_area_size to a very large value (that was 2 years ago, around 300-400 M I think) in the sql scripts doing the aggegates.

The SGA size will vary according to your needs. Will there be a lot of users querying the warehouse or will the data be loaded in desktop olap tool,.... there are a lot of configurations. It depens on what you do.

I recommend the Oracle 8 and 8i books on datawarehousing by Gary Dodge and Tim Gorman.
