apparently mine have been getting pissy with each other - i noticed one is missing an antenna. will that grow back next time he molts or is he SOL?

From my personal experience they don't seem to grow back, or if they do it is as such an incredibly slow growth rate that it's dificult to see it.

From my experience with G. portentosa, I think antennae grow back at a rate of a couple segments per molt.

I believe that adults with damaged antennae will never regrow them. (As adults have stopped molting.)

I also read this online somewhere, but I can't find the URL at the moment.
