It's in /usr/src/sys/pdpstand. Look in file7.tar.gz from the 2.11 part
of the Distributions and it should be somewhere in there.
makesimtape is a hacked up version of 'maketape', the syntax and data
file are the same so if you know how to use 'maketape' to create
bootable tapes you're all set.
The program is short enough I'll include it here. It should compile
and run with minimal tweeking on any 'BSD'ish UNIX system.

* @(#)makesimtape.c 2.0 (2.11BSD) 1997/8/7
* Hacked 'maketape.c' to write a file in a format suitable for
* use with Bob Supnik's PDP-11 simulator (V2.3) emulated tape
* driver.
*
* NOTE: a PDP-11 has to flip the shorts within the long when writing out
* the record size. Seems a PDP-11 is neither a little-endian
* machine nor a big-endian one.
