Sorry, I don't think you can add this to /etc/vfstab - well, you might
be able to if you could get lofiadm to run before your ISO gets mounted,
but that's going to be too tricky.

The easiest way is just to write the command into /etc/rc3.d/S99mountiso
like this:

#!/bin/bash

mount -o ro -F hsfs `lofiadm -a /path/to/my.iso` /mountpath
