This is a baffling problem wherein two zpools no longer exist after

Do you have zfs_enable="YES" set in /etc/rc.conf? If not then nothing will
get imported.
Regarding the cachefile property, it's expected that "zpool import" will
change it, unless you do "zpool import -O cachefile=whatever".
The rc script seems to do something slightly different with zpool import
-c $FOOBAR thus :
titan# cat /etc/rc.d/zpool
#!/bin/sh
#
#
# PROVIDE: zpool
# REQUIRE: hostid disks
# BEFORE: mountcritlocal
# KEYWORD: nojail
. /etc/rc.subr
name="zpool"
desc="Import ZPOOLs"
rcvar="zfs_enable"
start_cmd="zpool_start"
required_modules="zfs"
zpool_start()
{
local cachefile
for cachefile in /etc/zfs/zpool.cache /boot/zfs/zpool.cache; do
if [ -r $cachefile ]; then
zpool import -c $cachefile -a -N
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Import of zpool cache
${cachefile} failed," \
"will retry after root mount hold
release"
root_hold_wait
zpool import -c $cachefile -a -N
fi
break
fi
done
}

I may as well nuke the pre-existing cache file and start over :
titan# ls -l /etc/zfs/zpool.cache /boot/zfs/zpool.cache

This is progress ... however the cachefile property is wiped out again :
titan# zpool get cachefile t0
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
t0 cachefile - default
titan# zpool get cachefile leaf
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
leaf cachefile - default
titan# zpool get cachefile proteus
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
proteus cachefile - default
titan#
Also, strangely, none of the filesystem in proteus are mounted :
titan#
titan# zfs list -o name,exec,checksum,canmount,mounted,mountpoint -r proteus
NAME EXEC CHECKSUM CANMOUNT MOUNTED MOUNTPOINT
proteus on sha512 on no none
proteus/bhyve off sha512 on no /bhyve

proteus/bhyve/isos off sha512 on no /bhyve/isos
proteus/obj on sha512 on no /usr/obj
proteus/src on sha512 on no /usr/src

If I reboot again without doing anything will the zpools re-appear ?

OKay so the zpools appear to be back in spite of the strange situation
with the cachefile property is empty everywhere. My guess is the zpool
rc script is bring in information during early boot.
Why the zfs filesystems on proteus do not mount? Well that is a strange
problem but at least the zpool can be used.
