Not sure if anyone else took jnam's suggestion to check out emachineshop.com, but when I designed a steel plate with two miter slots, the price came out to ~$900 each, if you buy 25. Couldn't find a price for having it done in cast iron. It would be cheaper to buy the cast iron router table extension I've seen recently. (MLSC? BenchDog? I forget.)
I have also been looking to see if any old table saws have miter slots in a cast iron extension wing. No luck so far, they all have them in the main table, and I think that would be prohibitively hard to modify to use as a MST.
Unless someone else has a better solution, I think the verdict is to wait until my woodworking can justify a darksider saw.
In fact, it would probably be easier to modify the SMT to work with a darksider, thanto bring darksider advantages to the BT3*.
