OK, if my IFR GPS goes out (and my handheld goes out), I am down to
just my VOR/GS. No DME, no ADF, no GPS, no Marker Beacons. Am I legal
to fly an ILS? The only way I have of identifying the outer marker is
ATC radar, so certainly I would need radar coverage. So, lets say I
have radar coverage and its just a plain ILS, no DME or ADF
requirement? Legal? Safe?

The FAF is often fixed by VOR radials from other VORs, and you can
certainly use these. If you're vectored to the localizer, then the FAF
is glideslope intercept. The only necessity for the outer marker is
really to insure that you're on the main glideslope, not a false lobe,
and if you're vectored to final and intercept the GS from below, this
isn't a problem.
