Hmmm...if you know what it's supposed to look like on the color
printer, then use the color printer profile as the source and convert
backwards to CIELab (or beyond that to an RGB working space) with
relative colorimetric in order to produce digital originals. If this
looks OK in Pshop 6 / AI 9 / InDesign 1.5 then that's a simple way to
go.
Another way of doing it is chancing a guess that the SGI application
uses standard OS level monitor phosphors for an internal RGB working
space which for ease of use it presents as HSV. Then from there you
can reconstruct the working space from SGI specs (assuming SGI only
delivers one type of monitor which is somewhat unlikely) and build it
as an ICC profile in Pshop 6.
Lastly, if I remember rightly there's a version of Optical that works
for SGI Irix. I wonder whether the Color Partnership folks might not
have some ideas based on their experience.
