For those curious if the QLogic target mode driver with COMSTAR supports 
initiators with MPxIO;

Yes it works. Just follow the directions in this manual:
http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/817-3674-12/817-3674-12.pdf

On my my Solaris 8 initiator host's /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf I changed the 
mpxio disable statement to no and added the following:

device-type-scsi-options-list =
"SUN     COMSTAR", "symmetric-option";
symmetric-option = 0x1000000;

That is 5 spaces between SUN and COMSTAR.

A reboot after the conf change followed by cfgadm configure on the two 
controllers and now I have this:
