I'm not answering from experience, but a quick google found that solaris does not have file change notification: http://blogs.sun.com/praks/entry/file_events_notification
So I'd have thought you could use that to take a ZFS snapshot. ZFS snapshots aren't of any one particular file, they are of the whole filesystem, but they don't consume a lot of space (so long as you don't expect file deletions to free space ;-)), and you could create lots of sub filesystems I guess if you needed to. Would that do the job?
