That would truncate the logfile to length zero, because the redirection is handled by the shell before the tail command can do it's work.

As for the original question. You can truncate the logfile, as long it is not open. You can check with

Code:
# /usr/sbin/fuser /var/svc/log/milestone-multi-user-server:default.log
/var/svc/log/milestone-multi-user-server:default.log:

If there is a process number after the colon, the file is open, like here:

Code:
/var/svc/log/system-filesystem-autofs:default.log:      965o     964o

NAME
nislog - display the contents of the NIS+ transaction log SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/nislog [-h num | -t num] [-v] [directory]... DESCRIPTION
nislog displays the contents of the NIS+ server transaction log on the standard output. This command can be used to track changes in the namespace. The /var/nis/trans.log file contains the transaction log maintained by the NIS+ server. When updates occur, they are logged to this file and then propagated to replicas as log transactions. When the log is checkpointed, updates that have been propagated to the replicas are removed. The nislog command can only be run on an NIS+ server by superuser. It displays the log entries for that server only. If directory is not specified, the entire log is searched. Otherwise, only those logs entries that correspond to the specified directories are displayed. OPTIONS
-h num Display num transactions from the ``head'' of the log. If the numeric parameter is 0, only the log header is displayed. -t num Display num transactions from the ``tail'' of the log. If the numeric parameter is 0, only the log header is displayed. -v Verbose mode. FILES
