Disregarding that you have to force past the dependency requirement it
would be the equivalent of not running pre/post scripts. The packages
that depend on cswclassutils use it for some combo of e.g. init/SMF
support and handling of configuration files, see
http://wiki.opencsw.org/cswclassutils-package for all features.

What's the problem to install it in the global zone? Even if you don't
have root access to it yourself you should be able to make a request
for a package install, right? What would you do with a sparse zone if
you needed a SUNW package that installed in /usr?
