The simpler would be for you to create a second primary partition using the remaining unallocated 25 GiB then create a ZFS pool on it.

For the first task, use fdisk in interactive mode:
Code:
# fdisk /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0p0
Enter Selection: 1  (Create a partition)
Indicate the type of partition you want to create: 4 (Other) or 8 (FAT32) but not 1 (SOLARIS2)
Specify the percentage of disk to use for this partition: 72 (as you have already 28% used)
Should this to become the Active partition? : n
Enter Selection: 5  (update disk configuration and exit)

Then, to create the ZFS pool, simply run this command:
Code:
zpool create u02 c1t0d0p2

and you are done.
