+1 There are both commercial (as Magnus mentioned) and open source ZFS solutions for Unix based Mac systems.
As neat as native HFS+ file systems under OpenIndiana or *Solaris would be, its really not the way to go. Other alternatives as someone else mentioned is iSCSI. And I do very well at home with my Mac's doing NFS mounts to my OI storage server. YMMV. Regardless, you have lots of options.
