Yes, on x86 you can boot into failsafe and let it mount the root pool under /a and then reboot. This removes the hostid from the configuration information in the zpool's label. I guess that on SPARC you could boot from the installation optical media (or from a network server), and zpool import -f the root pool; that should put the correct hostid into the root pool's label.
