OpenSolaris user-space iSCSI target daemon supports SAM-3 persistent reservations since early spring or so (Jim Dunham could provide exact details on this).
As to COMSTAR iSCSI target (iSER), it's SAM-neutral in that it doesn't handle any SCSI commands itself but simply passes it on to the target, so to support PRIN/PROUT you need a target with this capabilities. With ZFS backend, this (speculatively) could be done with volume/dataset properties, but I haven't heard of any activity on this (COMSTAR team might clarify this further).
