From what I remember there is a game_text entity or something that you can use...I'm not sure on that though...haven't used hammer since source came out...

Any of the sdk sample maps have "something"_text entities (I forget the name exactly; "game_text" sounds right... the entity with the "T" icon). Just look at them. You can trigger them with any other entity/button/func_trigger you want. You could even trigger it with a logic_auto that sends the trigger command when the level loads, thus displaying text as you enter the level.
