Of course, but even though we should strive to support te widest module configurations possible, GRUB is no panacea. Even when an initialized GRUB could cope with a ZFS partition in a LVM+RAID on SATA drives not supported by the BIOS, one should not really expect to be able to boot directly off it - get a simpler boot scheme, man! extN, FAT or even SFS are way simpler filesystems which should be used for boot partitions. More complex filesystems such as ReiserFS or NTFS require _less_ complex schemes such as no LVM+RAID in order to keep the total core size manageable.
