I doubt you're going to be able to run the client locally in a zone. 
Zones are cool and lightweight -- because they share the same kernel...

However, it'd be neat if there were some magic in the loopback 
filesystem that we could take advantage of that would give the AFS 
pioctl() based utilies their due access.
