Yes, phys_path does look like something that came from solaris.

If you have old copy of /boot/zfs/zpool.cache you could try use "zpool
import -c old-cache-file".

I don't think zpool.cache is needed for import. Import should work
without it just fine. Just remove /boot/zfs/zpool.cache (or move it
somewhere else and then try importing with -d /dev/gpt again.
