patching Solaris 2.5.1 system with remote /usr partition

Hello,

I have to patch a few Solaris 2.5.1 systems that have / and var mounted from
local disks, and /usr (and everything else) nfs mounted from remote machines.
Has anyone ever patched systems setup like this before? How does it handle
the files that are supposed to be installed in /usr? Can you still patch the
kernel and files in /?

Here's an example of the df output.
 df -k
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 239943 92034 123919 43% /
doink:/usr 770584 620200 73336 90% /usr
/proc 0 0 0 0% /proc
fd 0 0 0 0% /dev/fd
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s4 96023 10074 76349 12% /var
swap 154736 8 154728 1% /tmp
/cachefs/opt/.cfs_mnt_points/doink:_opt

Thanks,
