True ... but the FreeBSD implementation of ZFS is "experimental" in 7..0 and will be production in 7.1 - since I run 7-STABLE rather then 7.0 I make give it 6 months then try it next time I have cause to change the disk config on the backup box.
It's an interesting change - I have a 3ware controller running 8 500GB drives - 6 in a raid 10 and raid 1 set. To effectively use zfs I'd need to backup the data (about 1.2TB between the file systems) then reconfigure as JBOD and have ZFS run the drives (I'd use the zraid2 + a spare) - not a trivial change to make.
