I said that before I realized this wasn't a DECstation, and didn't use a
MIPS cpu.

Does anyone have the pinout for this? Or even better, does anyone have a
pinout for both this and a Framebuffer Console cable that works with a
VAXstation 3200 and 4-plane mono framebuffer- a BC18P? OR should I just
try to plug it in? I want to get some sort of confirmation that it won't
blow up my keyboard or DEC3000 first.

Which serial port should I use? The DB25-P or the MMJ jack?
