Thank you for the solid answer.
It now looks like I am now seeking a 32 bit SAS card that I can put into
a Netra T1 or a V120.

Thomas is correct. This is a hardware issue, not an OS driver one. In
order to use a card with SPARC, its firmware must be OpenBoot-aware.
Pretty much all consumer SATA cards only have PC BIOS firmware, as there
is no market for sales to SPARC folks.
However, several of the low-end SAS cards ($100 or so) also have
available OpenBoot firmware, in addition to PC BIOS firmware. In
particular, the LSI1068 series-based HBAs are a good place to look. Note
that you *might* have to flash the new OpenBoot firmware onto the card -
cards don't come with both PC-BIOS and OpenBoot firmware. Be sure to
check the OEM's web site to make sure that the card is explicitly
supported for SPARC, not just "Solaris".
