(regular IDE). Is it possible to add the second hard disk to the pool to
increase my storage capacity without a raid controller?

Do not try "zpool add" on your rpool! IIRC, it will no be allowed,
but
if it were, your system would be unbootable and recovery would be
difficult... very uncool.
A better idea is to create a new storage pool.
Alas, it seems that OpenSolaris 2008.05 does not include the ZFS BUI,
so you might need to descend to the command line.
"format" is the command to setup your disk slices (and as a gateway
to managing partitions). Once you setup a slice, then a simple
"zpool create" will do the trick. Many more details are available in
the ZFS Administration Guide
