Hi all:
First; it is possible modify the boot zpool rpool after OS installation...?
I install the OS on the whole 72GB harddisk.. it is mirrored so If I want to
decrease the rpool; for example resize to a 36GB slice it can be done?
As far I remember on UFS/SVM I was able to resize boot OS disk via detach
mirror (so tranforming to one-way mirror); ajust the partitions then attach
de mirror. After sync boot form the resized mirror; re-doing the resize on
the remaining mirror and attach mirror and reboot.
Dowtime reduced to a reboot times.

Second: In the first can't be done; I was guessing I could increase rpool
size via adding more hard disk. As you know that must be done with SMI
labeled hard disk; well I have tried change  the start cyl; changed the
label type almost everything and I still get the error
 zpool add rpool mirror c1t2d0 c1t5d0
cannot label 'c1t2d0': EFI labeled devices are not supported on root pools.

Current partition table (original):
Total disk cylinders available: 24620 + 2 (reserved cylinders)
