I believe the lines should all begin with (notice the lack of the "4" at the
end):

AddType application/x-httpd-php

I'm sure you're right.  You'd have to find the Cobalt script that writes the
above lines and modify it to include support for the .php3 extension.  If
you do find the right file it would probably benefit a lot of users if you
posted to the list.

If you don't mind having all of your sites able to run PHP, you could add
the proper lines to srm.conf, then restart Apache.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .phtml

And uncomment any of the other AddType lines related to PHP within srm.conf.
