Yes.

To expand on that answer, you can delegate ZFS file systems to a non- global zone:

The zone administrator can set file system properties, as well as create children. In addition, the zone administrator can take snapshots, create clones, and otherwise control the entire file system hierarchy.

Not sure in which Solaris 10 update this was added. For further details see "Using ZFS on a Solaris System With Zones Installed":
