Why would you want to do that ?

I tried but could get it to work with the CLI.  However it may be 
possible via the (private) libzfs function call interface.

da64-x4500b-gmp03# cd /tmp
da64-x4500b-gmp03# runat
da64-x4500b-gmp03# touch silly
da64-x4500b-gmp03# runat silly mkfile 64m pool_file_1
da64-x4500b-gmp03# runat silly zpool create silly `pwd`/pool_file_1
cannot open '/tmp/pool_file_1': No such file or directory

Which is correct because it isn't in /tmp
