(1)  will three boys (litter mates who see to get along well in the pet 
store)  get along with each other when they mature 
yes, absolutely, as long as you keep them away from girls!  I have always had 
boy-littermates and they always love each other forever
or is it more likely 
they would fight with each other and 
not at all
(2) is the personality of boy 
guinea pigs different than that of girls.  {any other differences I 
should know about}.    
haven't had girls ever, but boys are delicious
Is it desireable to have the boys neutered ? and 
if so at what age would that be done ?  (any vets out there?)

absolutely not necessary, as long as there are no girls around.  if you bring 
a girl into the house, anywhere near your 3 boys, even if they can just smell 
her, they will probably start to fight.  if you want to introduce a girl to 
one of them for some reason, you will want to neuter him first. But if you are 
just keeping the three boys together, there is no need whatsoever to neuter 
any of them.

make sure you have room for a VERY large cage if you are going to have 3 
piggies together
