sure, this is the pool of my test installation:

rpool                                  5.63G  5.51G      124K  /rpool
rpool/ROOT                             5.03G  5.51G       96K  legacy
rpool/ROOT/openindiana-2024:01:15      5.03G  5.51G     4.15G  /
rpool/ROOT/openindiana-2024:01:15/var   905M  5.51G      905M  /var
rpool/dump                             64.1M  5.51G     64.1M  -
rpool/export                            192K  5.51G       96K  /export
rpool/export/home                        96K  5.51G       96K  /export/home
rpool/swap                              546M  6.03G     13.9M  -

then i run:
root at openindiana:~# zfs set compression=on rpool/ROOT/openindiana-2024:01:15/var
root at openindiana:~# zfs get compression rpool/ROOT/openindiana-2024:01:15/var
NAME                                   PROPERTY     VALUE     SOURCE
rpool/ROOT/openindiana-2024:01:15/var  compression  on        local

and then, as described, after a "pkg update" the compression of the new be's /var is gone again.
