I received several terrifically detailed responses to this question,
and lots of very good related information (along with plenty of
cautions)! The bottom line is this, with thanks to Karl and Kevin:
Try adding these lines to /etc/system and rebooting:
* set hard limit on file descriptors (was 256)
set rlim_fd_max = 768
* set soft limit on file descriptors (was 64)
set rlim_fd_cur = 512
There is also some very good information here, with thanks to Amparo and Johan:

Refer to section 7. There is also very good info in the Solaris FAQ,
with thanks to Casper:
<http://www.science.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2/>
And a similar FAQ, with lots of good kernel tuning information, with
thanks to Loper:
<http://www.princeton.edu/~unix/Solaris/troubleshoot/kerntune.html>
There were several other suggestions made, as well, but rlim_fd_max
is what did the trick for us. Huge thanks to everyone for the
assistance!
