Under the Solaris-based OSes I have used*, ZFS creates an EFI-like disk
label, NOT a GPT label. FreeBSD (9.0) will read and use the EFI-like disk label
that ZFS creates (or perhaps it is the ZFS code that is parsing the disk
label). So if you want to move a zpool between FreeBSD and a Solaris-derived
OS, then the safe bet is to give ZFS the entire disk and let it create the disk
label.
*Solaris-based OSes that I have used:
Solaris 10
OpenSolaris
NCP (Nexenta Core Platform)
