I found the following script:
http://prefetch.net/code/fmadmnotifier
which makes use of Solaris' FMA service (Fault Management):

Really, it would be nice to have email notifications set up and easily configurable. I didn't want to mess with syslog-ng, as I wasn't sure where to start (I certainly didn't want everything it finds emailed to me).
As always, you'll want to test that your mail gets past SPAM filters - you can do this with mailx from the command line. I edited the script to use mailx -r my_reply_address to keep it consistent with my testing (since gmail initially did mark my tests as spam). I also tested the script in VirtualBox to verify that it works when a hard drive that is part of a zpool goes missing.
