Now that I've copied the zone into the new master zone running under VMware,
I've run into a problem with IP networking.  I've set up the vnic, assigned
the IP, and can ping/access the IP from the global zone. However I can't
access that IP from the LAN. Oddly, the arp table in the external machine
I'm pining from DOES have an entry with the correct MAC address.

Does VMWare have any toggles for filtering Ethernet packets?
Essentially, it provides you a virtual NIC with some MAC address,
but your VNIC uses a different MAC address. Possibly, it is the
hypervisor that prevents delivery of the frames to your VM, and
probably this can be amended in the engine or per-VM settings.

Alternately, you can look at either using shared-IP zones which
use essentially "aliases" of your main NIC and by consequence
the same MAC address and routing tables, or at a private LAN
(etherstub) inside your OI VM, with the GZ or some other zone
owning the VMWare-backed NIC serving as a router (maybe NAT).
For the NAT case, you might set up the rules for 1:1 publication
of the zone on a dedicated address served for the outside world
on the routing zone; however other zones of this VM would only
"see" this zone by its internal private address.

The latter options are discussed in the Wiki, most detailed here:
