It's possible, but unsupported.
Follow the instructions at
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/resources/rn3/image-update/
up until the point where you do pkg image-update. At that point, you'll
want to use beadm to create a new boot environment, and mount it somewhere.
Then run
pkg -R /some/where install entire at 0.5.11-0.97
Assuming that doesn't error out, you can then unmount the BE and activate
it.
Note that this isn't identical to running image-update, but it ends up
being the same for all WOS packages. Anyone who has unbundled packages
installed (studio, sun cluster, etc) will have to update those
independently, but they likely haven't had any updates since they were
installed, anyway.
