Yes, you can try
If this works you can directly proceed with fsck and mount, as you suggested.
But it will likely fail with "device busy" unless it is in single-user mode.
--
In single-user mode and OK prompt you'll loose remote connection e.g. ssh connection. So make sure you access the system through a console (ILO/ALOM board, serial console, grahical console, etc.).
You can shutdown -y -i 0 -g 0 to the OK prompt and then type boot -s.
I have tested the below scenario before deploying on Production machine:
When i try to unmount /var partition after booting with boot -s from OK prompt
Then i get
Then run fsck
Then rebooted the machine and it was fine, but not sure why i am unable to unmount /var when booting into Single user mode.
Please assist.

mountall
mountall(1M) System Administration Commands mountall(1M)NAME
mountall, umountall - mount, unmount multiple file systems
SYNOPSIS
mountall [-F FSType] [-l | -r] [file_system_table]
umountall [-k] [-s] [-F FSType] [-l | -r] [-n]
umountall [-k] [-s] [-h host] [-n]
DESCRIPTION
mountall is used to mount file systems specified in a file system table. The file system table must be in vfstab(4) format. If no file_sys-
tem_table is specified, /etc/vfstab is used. If - is specified as file_system_table, mountall reads the file system table from the standard
input. mountall mounts only those file systems with the mount at boot field set to yes in the file_system_table.
For each file system in the file system table, the following logic is executed: if there exists a file/usr/lib/fs/FSType/fsckall, where
FSType is the type of the file system, save that file system in a list to be passed later, and all at once, as arguments to the
/usr/lib/fs/FSType/fsckall script. The /usr/lib/fs/FSType/fsckall script checks all of the file systems in its argument list to determine
whether they can be safely mounted. If no /usr/lib/fs/FSType/fsckall script exists for the FSType of the file system, the file system is
individually checked using fsck(1M). If the file system does not appear mountable, it is fixed using fsck before the mount is attempted.
File systems with a - entry in the fsckdev field are mounted without first being checked.
umountall causes all mounted file systems except root, /usr, /var, /var/adm, /var/run, /proc, and /dev/fd to be unmounted. If the FSType is
specified, mountall and umountall limit their actions to the FSType specified. There is no guarantee that umountall unmounts busy file sys-
tems, even if the -k option is specified.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-F Specify the FSType of the file system to be mounted or unmounted.
-h host Unmount all file systems listed in /etc/mnttab that are remote-mounted from host.
-k Use the fuser -k mount-point command. See the fuser(1M) for details. The -k option sends the SIGKILL signal to each
process using the file. As this option spawns kills for each process, the kill messages might not show up immediately.
There is no guarantee that umountall unmounts busy file systems, even if the -k option is specified.
-l Limit the action to local file systems.
-n List the actions that would be performed for the specified options, but do not actually execute these actions. Repeating
the command without the -n option executes the listed actions, assuming that the /etc/mnttab file has not changed in the
interval prior to repeating the command.
-r Limit the action to remote file system types.
-s Do not perform the umount operation in parallel.
FILES
/etc/mnttab Mounted file system table
/etc/vfstab Table of file system defaults
/usr/lib/fs/FSType/fsckall Script called by mountall to perform the file system check of all file systems of type FSType
