I did this and:

root at diener:~# svcs -xv tftp/udp6
svc:/network/tftp/udp6:default (tftp)
 State: online since Sat Nov  8 00:58:54 2014
Impact: None.

which looks alright but:

root at diener:~# ps -ef|grep ftp
    root 19727 19582   0 02:26:18 pts/4       0:00 grep ftp

and tftp put/get requests just time out.  Here's the general manifest;
any ideas?

root at world:/support/Solaris# cat zone/diener/tftp-udp6.xml | grep -v '^$'
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM '/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1'>

            inetd services; for services written to take advantage of SMF
            capabilities, the start method should fork off a process to
            handle the request and return a success code.
