dtcalc is a CDE application, so has never been included in any OpenSolaris build
- your build 121 must have been the SXCE that still had CDE.

No. You can enable a keystroke to kill the X server, which is slightly
less disruptive than rebooting the whole system, or you can enable virtual
terminals (as long as you're not on a SPARC framebuffer missing that support)
and then switch to another VT and pkill dtcalc.
To enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace kill keystroke in one session:
setxkbmap -option "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
To enable it for all future sessions, create a file
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/30user/10-x11-input.fdi
and put in it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<!--
Default X.org input configuration is defined in:
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/30user/10-x11-input.fdi
Settings here modify or override the default configuration.
See comment in the file above for more information.
To see the currently active hal X.org input configuration
run lshal or hal-device(1m) and search for "input.x11*" keys.
Hal and X must be restarted for changes here to take any effect
-->
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions"
type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
and then svcadm restart hal.
[That's for Xorg 1.4 through 1.7 - it will change when we move to 1.8 & beyond.]
To enable vt-switching, see the instructions on:

gnome-calculator does not meet your needs? That and xcalc are the two I know
of available in opensolaris.
