Not really. You can create a primary partition and make it of type 'bf' in 
Linux (or Solaris if you are at home with Solaris) version of fdisk, and use 
that partition to install opensolaris. Solaris will create its slices on that 
one primary fdisk partition.

Here is a good guide on disk partitioning under Solaris for beginners:
