Guilty, PONDUS is usually the machine that reacts most quickly to
DECserver boot requests...

And yes, you can define a service to do that. I'm already doing it for a
few console ports.

Oh it already boots - no idea where from though :)
As for the system console, can't I just define the port as a LAT service (say CPYCON) and the set host/lat to it?

I'm going to order a whole bunch of null-modem cables and wire them into my DECserver 200 - wire up CHIMPY, CHIMPY and RHESUS through it that way - I assume it's possible to connect from one serial port on a DS to another?

I don't know if the DECserver 200 allows you to hook up system consoles.   I know that my 90L+ does not. :-(   One problem I see is that you have to boot the DECserver 200 via MOP if I remember correctly before you can use it.
