No.  This isn't a file permission issue; it's a characteristic of the file
system itself.  This is similar to asking if there's a privilege to give a
user the ability to write to a read-only CDROM device.

Even if you could do this, you _really_ wouldn't want to.  Any change to
/usr in this zone would affect every other sparse root zone as well as the
global zone.  A root user within this zone could completely trash your
machine.

Not after the zone has been installed.  If you were allowed to do that, you
would end up with a zone that has no /usr directory at all.
