Creating two separate packages would be the simpler way to do it. Don't forget that packaging uses the manifest/map information at times other than initial installation (including 'pkgchk' and 'pkgrm'), so having conditionals there would likely be hard to manage even if it could be made to work. It's not how I'd expect anyone would want to do it, though. If the package is something that should be the same in all zones, then installing in /usr or /opt via the global zone and then just letting the non-global zones use that copy is probably the simplest answer of all.
