I solved this by installing the included argus-agent on the machine with 
the zfs.

# copy the argus-agent from the argus host
scp <argus_host>:/usr/local/sbin/argus-agent /usr/local/sbin

# set up the argus-agent in /etc/services
echo -e "argus-agent\t164/tcp" >> /etc/services

# set up the argus-agent in inetd.conf
echo -e 
"argus-agent\tstream\ttcp\tnowait\troot\t/usr/local/sbin/argus-agent\targus-agent" 
 >> /etc/inetd.conf
pkill -HUP inetd

# if the host is solaris 10, run:
inetconv


# verify it's accepting sockets on port 164 (you telnet and type "zpool 
<poolname>)
telnet localhost 164
Trying localhost...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
zpool rpool
ONLINE
Connection to localhost closed by foreign host.


once you get this far, you just go to your argus config, and something like:

Group "machine" {
      Service Ping
      Service Agent/zpool {
          arg: pool_name
          expect: ONLINE
      }
}

make sure any packet filters you might have set up between the two hosts 
allow port 164/tcp.

that should get you all set.
