I'd guess this would be handled by LOM rather than OpenPROM. Try adding

	wdog_reset=1

to /kernel/drv/lom.conf, and make sure you have the tsdog watchdog
daemon running. After a power cut, it'll hopefully come back up to
a LOM prompt, and 40 seconds later, when the watchdog has timed out,
it'll reset and boot up as normal.

I haven't actually tried it, but it ought to work...
