I know of no way to accomplish this.
Policies are on files, not pools.  The policy of a file will be in effect 
whether it's the primary pool copy or one/several copy pool copies.  

Also, if you did have a copy  pool which had different policies than the 
primary pool, you wouldn't have redundancy.  If you lost a copy pool tape
you would loose files on that volume that you need to keep forever.
There would be no way to recover them.

This would also be a huge DR issue.  For DR you need:
- A copy of all files at a offsite/safe location in case you have a
    disaster at the main site.
- A copy of all files at the main site in case the DR site is lost.
