Sadly, the situation is what I expected, it's a case of copying the file system to a smaller partition ;-( I came here hoping for a shrinkfs (like linux’s resize2fs command), since I knew about growfs on solaris.

The stated procedure works for solaris 9 and earlier. I have done it too many times. My issue is that I have done this with Solaris 10 and /usr does not get mounted. Can someone help?

I was extremely confused since I’d been using X tunneling successfully with SecureCRT. After googling the error message a little bit, it seems that the part about the “wrong authentication protocol attempted” is  misleading. You could get this message for not having the right magic cookie on the client side, or for not having a cookie at all as was apparently my case.
