Suggestion: zfs can have settings that trigger an event to be delivered to devd when a filesystem hits a certain percentage full (or under a certain percentage free space left). That way you can have the event triggered at the filesystem level, which I believe is the correct thing to do (so you're not polling), and also delivers the level of control you want.
