This works for me. You probably need to restart the zone for changes to
take effect though. Tested as follows:

    # pargs -e $(pgrep -z kekkonen svc.startd)
    5193:       /lib/svc/bin/svc.startd
    envp[0]: _=*5088*/lib/svc/bin/svc.startd
    envp[1]: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
    envp[2]: LC_TIME=C
    envp[3]: PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
    envp[4]: PWD=/
    envp[5]: SHLVL=1
    envp[6]: TZ=Europe/Helsinki
    envp[7]: A__z="*SHLVL
