Sure. There's no command line option for this, but if you run svccfg
interactively or with an input file of commands (via the -f option), use
the repository subcommand to tell it to use the zone's repository (ie
${ZONEROOT}/etc/svc/repository.db) rather than the default.

(Although my usual trick is to save the repository from a zone that's
configured the way I want, and drop that into a new zone as I build it.)

The other way would be to create a service profile, and then drop that into
the zone ready to be picked up when the zone boots.
