This is straight from Answerbook2:

To Disable the Power Key

    1.As root, edit the /usr/openwin/lib/speckeysd.map file


       # vi /usr/openwin/lib/speckeysd.map


    2.comment out the two lines starting "SunPower" by putting a "#" as
the first character in the line.


       #SunPowerSwitch                  -      
$OPENWINHOME/bin/sys-suspen
       #SunPowerSwitchShift             -      
$OPENWINHOME/bin/sys-suspend -n


    3.Save the edited file.

    4.Shutdown and restart the system.
