Not enough information to say, but generally, yes, there are a lot of 
issues that *could* result from doing things this way, but you haven't 
provided enough information to guess whether that'll be an issue for you 
or not.

Nagios can be resource intensive, but it's all dependent on what you're 
doing with it (how many hosts, how many services, which version you're 
running, etc.). There have also been a lot of timing issues reported 
with running Nagios in a VM, though I don't know whether those apply to 
Solaris guest zones.
