We're using QEMU, which if you're using KVM on Linux, should be similar (and seems to be what oVirt uses). You'll just want to make sure that if you're using virtio or IDE on SmartOS, that you're using the same type of controller in however you specify it in there. I'd be surprised if they don't allow you to control that. Otherwise, dd-ing the zvol to an image and importing that raw image is the path that I'd go down.
