exclusive-IP zones can use: 1. physical link 2. VLAN, eg, e1000g33001 3. vnic (not in Nevada yet, you can access the Crossbow bits at: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/)
In your case, you only have one e1000g0, you can't assign it to a zone (you can use it if you unplumb it in the global zone. :-) ), using VLAN will be a choice. However, is you only have one machine, I think trying Crossbow bits is a better choice, playing with vnic will be fun! and you don't have to setup VLANs.
