Is there some sort of thread sealant that should be used when hooking up steam radiators?

On the faces of the union? They were intended to seal without any sealant, but on an old system you can put a thin film of pipe dope or even RTV on them.
On threaded parts (nipples)? Yes.

Teflon tape and/or pipe dope
