If the partition that /usr is mounted [assuming its different from /] on goes down can a usr still boot up to fix things if his logon shell is zsh.
For example on Solaris, bash, has components in /usr and if that partition goes down one can't log in again to fix things.
So is there enough crictical zsh code in the root partition say /bin to run zsh as a standalone shell without accessing dlls or whatever in a /usr partition?

On Solaris, no part of zsh is in /; it's all in /usr (at least with the
bundled zsh).
Note that as of Solaris 9, you can your shell to anything, and it'll fall
back to /sbin/sh if the defined shell can't be executed. It's not an ideal
shell, but it's something.
