Is it possible to alter the settings on the Sun's serial ports (ttya &
ttyb) so that they default to 8 bits no parity rather than 7 bits even
parity.
Changing them once connected to them is possible using stty's, but not
desirable.

[[ How about setting that in /etc/gettytab? Can't you just create another
getty type entry that uses the "p8" capability, then use that getty type
on the line? See gettytab(8). I've never tried it, so no guarantees.
