yes.

To configure a dhcp server, your best option is to use dhcpmgr(1m). E.g.,
http://docs.sun.com/source/819-6461-13/appendixA.html#50401303_76516

To configure in.routed,  you have to set up the  desired configuration
for in.routed (I'm assuming you want to set up a router that runs RIPv2
or rdisc)  and then enable routing using routeadm:

 # routeadm -e ipv4-forwarding -e ipv4-routing -u

See http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4554/gcvjj?l=en&a=view&q=routing

All of the above in your non-global zone, of course.

Not sure I understand that question- "static IPs based on MAC address"? 
IP addresses are constructed indpendant of MAC addresses- different
layers of the networking stack.
