Yes, that should also work :)

So, maybe I can do something tricky during boot to get to the single
user, or maintenance more, or whatever its called, long enough to
attempt increasing the rpool disc size  If so, I'm not
finding it with google, and the openindiana wiki is totally silent on
it... or so it seems.

Maybe I can edit something at the grub boot screen or such?

Yes, you can try adding "-s" to the kernel "command-line" in GRUB,
and this should boot you into single-user mode, where "root" is
regarded as an interactive user (with password) and not a role.

Alternately, you can boot from Live media (installer), then run
# zpool import -R /a -N -f rpool

This allows you to clean up obsolete snapshots, expand the pool, etc.

You can mount the filesystem, like
# zfs mount rpool/ROOT/openindiana

It would likely appear as "/a" in the Live filesystem; then you
can edit files on this pool and perhaps wipe the user's password
or insert the cryptext from some other source (i.e. /etc/shadow
of live media, with known password for "jack:jack" and such).

When done, don't forget to
# zpool export rpool

So that you can properly boot off it.
