I've looked high and low, far and wide, and cannot find a method for
booting a Sun from a USB drive. Is it possible with OpenBoot NVRAM
settings?

I've been doing Sun for a long time, and was asked about booting one
from a USB device. I was stumped. I know that newer Sun hardware has USB
ports, but I have never seen or heard of someone booting from the USB.

Any ideas?

So you're interested in SPARC? I'm not aware of any SPARC system that
can do a USB boot. Only x86.
