I've tried and failed to find such a list. 95% of the sack leaders are DE's and 3-4 OLB's.
Other than guys like Sapp and John Randle, I don't think many DT's are ahead of Geno in sacks.
The official list, on a quick perusal, has Randle, Sapp, Steve McMichael, La'roi Glover, Wayne Martin and Lee Williams ahead of him.

But at Geno's current pace, he should pass all but Randle with over 100 for his career.
Here's a list of Gil Brandt's top DTs. There are several on there with unofficial totals greater than Geno's, but he's #12 on the list, one spot ahead of Donald.
