I recommend that you restrict blastwave bits to the non-global zone.
That way you cannot end up with package conflicts between the global
zone and non-global zones or between non-global zones.
I have made installing Blastwave packages really easy for you via
the zonemgr with the "-G <blastwave_pkg>" option. Note that this
works for sparse and whole root zones.
For example the following invocation of zonemgr will
1. Create a sparse (standard inheritied directories) zone
2. named mysql
3. in /zones/mysql
4. with IP address 192.168.0.10
5. on nic hme0
6. with CIDR netmask of /24
7. and add host record for host name mysql
8. Inherit the resolution config from the global zone
9. and Install pkg-get, mysql5, apache2, and all
requisite bits from blastwave.
zonemgr -a add -n mysql -z /zones -P abc123 \
-C /etc/resolv.conf -C /etc/nsswitch.conf \
-I "192.168.0.10|hme0|24|mysql" -G mysql5 -G apache2
Note that copying resolv.conf and nsswitch.conf may not
be necessary depending on your global and non-global
configs. This is just what I do on my test system.

Hope that helps!
