Has anybody any success playing .PT3 files on Sega Masters System?

It would help if you gave more information on what you’re asking about. I think you are referring to ProTracker 3 module files which are used for systems based on the AY-3-8910 and similar chips. It would be tricky to play many of these on the Sega PSG.

Isn't ProTracker an Amiga born tracker based on samples?

That’s what makes it very hard to search for :)

Yeah, that's confusing; it's the name of a ZX-Spectrum-hosted music tracker, too:

Never heard of anyone trying to make it play on SMS; it could theorethically be possible to modify the player code to slide the notes a few octaves down in order to compensate for the higher base frequency; not sure how accurate it would sound, though.
