After re-reading your post I realized that my original response was, incorrect for what you needed.
I'm not sure about the possibility of creating another
zpool from a standalone rpool. I doubt it's even possible.
To create a zpool, you need a separate disk, you are
able to create a zfs dataset from the rpool but not recommended.
As for the alternative BE to apply patches to, I believe lucreate
makes/has a pre-defined directory which it places the alternative
BEs'.
Let me know if you where able to get this resolved as this
will help solaris admins alike.
