Applying Solaris Patches that Require Single User Mode

I can't speak about the Solaris plugin, unfortunately, but a single execnative call wouldn't cover what you're trying to accomplish. There's an RFE for the core SPS system to add this capability, but I don't know that it will be added soon. Remember that when you switch runlevels, a number of start and stop scripts are invoked, shutting down and starting up a number of services. To do what you want to do, you'd have to have a start script for the RA in runlevel 1. You'd also have to have a way for the RA to execute a command on startup which isn't possible today. There'd have to be a way for the MS to deposit a command for the RA to execute, restart the RA in runlevel 1, the RA would have to read the command on startup and execute it, then restart the RA to runlevel 3 (or 6, whatever is your default or previous runlevel). It's all doable, to be sure, but not with changes to the core product.
