Wes, TTI_Solaris_2.6_patch_bundle.tar.Z & TTI_Solaris_2.6_packages.tar.Z
are not patch clusters in the Sun sense of the word.  They are tar
bundles of patches and(or) products that have
been bundled together by tadpole (www.tadpole.com) to support their
addons and
enhancements.  I'm sure tadpole can better tell you than anyone else the
order in which to install their  bundled patches but it appears they are
installed in order; e.g., T00003-01, T030001-01, ...  
In summary after installing Solaris 2.6, you should probably install the
latest 2.6 patch cluster from SunSolve, followed by the tadpole patches,
then the tadpole packages. For more information on installing Solaris on
a SparcBook, see http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~hvdkooij/SparcBook-FAQ.txt
