Yes, I would be inclined to boot the system in noimport/recovery mode
and then import both pools manually.
There are two flags to "zpool import" which are probably of interest:
-R and -N. From the manual page[1] for zpool(1M):
-N
Import the pool without mounting any file systems.
-R root
Sets the cachefile property to none and the altroot
property to "root".
e.g., you might import the old zones pool via "zpool import -N -R /a
zones" where "/a" is an empty directory. Note that if you
accidentally have two pools with the same name, you can import them by
the pool guid which you can see by running "zpool import" with no
other arguments, and at import time you can give them a new name while
doing so.
