Actually what Veritas does when it mirrors a rootvolume is that it create
a new slice from the swap partition and stores the private region there.
AKA encapsulate.

It might be considered as ugly, and disksuite does it slightly different, IMHO
however its more ugly to have both Veritas and Disksuite on your machine, its
a bit overkill and might cause a great deal of confusion.
