I have a 96 beretta v6 3100 that has a knocking noice in the engine and the tappets are rattling. is this a sign of a cut bearing and how bad is the oil pan to remove from this thing?

Is your oil pressure ok? Does it knock at all temps? Does it quiet down as it warms up? How long has this been going on, and did it come on gradually or suddenly. Was oil level checked and changed regularly?
Maybe some bad gas if it is knocking at all temps and came on suddenly. Usually bad/worn bearings are accompanied by low oil pressure which you did not mention.
