lucreate(1M) includes this example:

     The following command, like the  preceding,  creates  a  new
     boot  environment  on a machine on which a BE has never been
     created. However,  the  following  command  differs  in  two
     respects:  the -c option is omitted and the /usr file system
     is mounted on its own disk slice, separate from /.


       # lucreate -m /:/dev/dsk/c0t4d0s0:ufs -m /usr:/dev/dsk/c0t4d0s1:ufs \
       -n second_disk
       lucreate: Please wait while your system configuration is determined.
       many lines of output
       lucreate: Creation of Boot Environment c0t4d0s0 successful.

And filesystem(5) says this:

     /usr

         Mount point for the /usr file system. See description of
         /usr file system, below.

And the jumpstart guide has this:

  http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-0179/6nbugkoo4?a=view#frcfq

I'm pretty sure that (at least apart from OpenSolaris IPS), using a
split root/usr layout has been supported.
