Even if the drive is disconnected, it should be possible
to "zpool export" it, so that the OS forgets about it
and doesn't try to mount from that pool during the next
boot.

When 6445725 is fixed, it should be possible to reformat
and / or use it with Solaris.

Sure. You need the opensolaris "ON Source", unpack them,
apply the patch from the website using something like
"gpatch -p0 < scsa1394-mkfs-hang2-alt" and build everything
using the "nightly" command.
You'll also need to install the "ON Specific Build Tools" package,
the "ON Binary-Only Components", and the correct Studio 11 compiler
for building the opensolaris sources.
Here are some detailed instuctions on building the opensolaris sources:
http://www.blastwave.org/articles/BLS-0050/index.html
Unfortunately, the sources for your installed version (build_64a) are
missing on http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads ; there are sources
for build 63 and 65, but not for 64a .
You could pick a newer release of the opensolaris sources (the latest
available for download is build_69), patch the sources and compile them,
and upgrade your installation to that newer release, using the "bfu"
command.
Or pick a slightly newer release than 64a, patch & compile (make sure
to compile as a "release" build) , and just replace the firewire kernel driver
modules that are affected by the bugfix, "scsa1394" and "sbp":
usr/src/uts/intel/scsa1394/obj32/scsa1394 -> /kernel/drv/scsa1394
usr/src/uts/intel/scsa1394/obj64/scsa1394 -> /kernel/drv/amd64/scsa1394
usr/src/uts/intel/sbp2/obj32/sbp2 -> /kernel/misc/sbp2
usr/src/uts/intel/sbp2/obj64/sbp2 -> /kernel/misc/amd64/sbp2
