It's pretty simple:

mount -rt hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom

...for cdrom attached to the sun, and cd in High Sierra or Iso 9660 format -
most pc cd's are

The follow-up question:
 Can a PC application on the cd be executed via something like SUNPC (or a
pc accessing the drive via a pcnfs mount)?

The Answer:
 Yes
