So, the tftpd will do a chroot(2) into that directory, right?

Those symlinks will not work if the tftpd does a chroot call.
Try just using hard links, or make them work relative to the
current directory (i.e.)
  80E32A0D -> netboot.sun3
  80E32A0D.SUN3 -> netboot.sun3

Then the Sun client should be able to TFTP.
