Re-iterating and expanding on what John wrote since I was about to cross-post:
Yes, the SONAR trial should able to open the bundle. The audio will be extracted to a dedicated Audio folder in the directory that you specify for the project. The trial won't be able to export or save, so you'll have to grab copies out of that folder while the project is open because SONAR will whack them when the project is closed. They'll have the old inscrutable names so you'll need to correlate them to the tracks by right-clicking each clip in SONAR, and choosing Associated Audio Files. You'll also want to make note of the start times if you're planning on bringing them all into another DAW. As John said, it might be a good idea to bounce any multi-clip tracks to one clip that starts at time zero to make things easier.
Opening it in PA9 is probably not worth the trouble of getting it to run on your current Windows machine.
EDIT: Your best bet might be to share the bundle with one of the old hands here who knows SONAR well enough to do it all for you in a jiffy, and zip up the tracks.
Or you can just break down and buy one of the less spendy versions of the current SONAR and get reacquainted with your old flame... you know you still want her.
