I've used Samba to share a Unix filesystem with Windows clients many
times, and would recommend it for this project:
http://www.samba.org
It runs as a regular program on the Unix side, and does a very
appropriate job of translating Unix filesystem semantics into Windows
filesystem semantics.
It should be installed by default, for NV at least, though the source won't be
installed by default. I'd recommend SXDE (aka NV build 55b)
http://developers.sun.com/solaris/downloads/solexpdev/
You can manage the shares with the GUI:
Launch -> Administration -> Shared Folders
Use "SMB" for windows clients. Or, for the CLI folks,
man samba
At present ZFS doesn't know how to do this via the "zfs" command, but
IMHO that would make a nice RFE. Thoughts?
