********* S U C C E S S !!! ************
Eureka! Finally at long last I've got my system running off the PGX32 board! In retrospect, it was quite simple - just a matter of knowing which magic spells to cast. This is what did it:
1. I used the drivers in the file pgxOWv30_s9.tar on the techsource.com web site.
2. Instead of using their install_all script, I typed in the pkgadd commnd myself, adding the -G switch, ie.(from a root console login)
# pkgadd -G -d ./ TSIpgxx.u TSIpgx.u TSIpgxw
3. Reboot with a boot -- -r, then STOP-a to get an OK prompt.
4. From the OK prompt, do
OK setenv pcib-probe-list 1,3 OK reset
And hey presto, the system rebooted with the console coming up on my big monitor connected to the external PGX32 card!
Note that these drivers are clearly listed as being for "Solaris 8 and 9 only", but they work for 10 also (and just to be clear, this is Solaris for Sparc). They also talk about OBP 3.17, but I've got 3.25 and again, they work fine anyway. One thing that was not necessary was messing around with /etc/dt/config/Xservers. I created one of these according to some instructions I found and it really screwed up the system. There is no need to even have that file present to make this all work.
I think the first key to this puzzle was going to techsource for the drivers and the final one was using the -G switch in pkgadd. That caused the drivers to install cleanly without any errors. So many many many thanks to everyone who took the time to follow this thread and offer suggestions, and especially to hicksd8, who is now my hero.

Is there a way to get to the OK prompt? I have tried control/break and that does not work.

LEARN ABOUT OPENSOLARIS
vconsole.conf
VCONSOLE.CONF(5) vconsole.conf VCONSOLE.CONF(5)NAME
vconsole.conf - configuration file for the virtual console
SYNOPSIS
/etc/vconsole.conf
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/vconsole.conf file configures the virtual console, i.e. keyboard mapping and console font.
The basic file format of the vconsole.conf is a newline-separated list environment-like shell-compatible variable assignments. It is
possible to source the configuration from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments no shell features are supported,
allowing applications to read the file without implementing a shell compatible execution engine.
Note that the kernel command line options vconsole.keymap=, vconsole.keymap.toggle=, vconsole.font=, vconsole.font.map=,
vconsole.font.unimap= may be used to override the console settings at boot.
Depending on the operating system other configuration files might be checked for configuration of the virtual console as well, however only
as fallback.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
KEYMAP=, KEYMAP_TOGGLE=
Configures the key mapping table of for they keyboard. KEYMAP= defaults to us if not set. The KEYMAP_TOGGLE= can be used to configured
a second toggle keymap and is by default unset.
FONT=, FONT_MAP=, FONT_UNIMAP=
Configures the console font, the console map and the unicode font map. FONT= defaults to latarcyrheb-sun16.
EXAMPLE
Example 1. German keyboard and console
/etc/vconsole.conf:
KEYMAP=de-latin1
FONT=latarcyrheb-sun16
