I am interested in getting the CG9 running as well.  I also have a GP2
to 
go along with it.  Sunos 4.1.x comes with "gpconfig" and microcode 
for the graphics processor, but I have not been able to get the CG9
running.  There is patch to X11R6 sources that gets a CG9 running.  I've
never had the time to try that out though.  Anyway, I'd also be
interested
in finding out what software is required to run these things.
