Took a call to Novell to figure it out, but we got it. A few lines were missing from the config file.
A little thing. The key entry is the JkWorkersFile, as that is what tells Apache how to get at Tomcat's actual worker-bits. Once that was in, the 500 server-error failures went away and things started working again. The interface is slightly different than the NetStorage that came with NW6, but not unworkably slow. One menu bar is blue where the other way grey. Still will probably generate calls when things go live, users are like that, but nothing fatal.
<ifmodule mod_jk.c>
JkWorkersFile "sys:/adminsrv/conf/mod_jk/workers.properties"
JkLogFile "logs/mod_jk.log"
JkLogLevel error
</ifmodule>
