See zpool(1M):

         This command reports actual physical space available  to
         the  storage  pool.  The physical space can be different
         from the  total  amount  of  space  that  any  contained
         datasets can actually use. The amount of space used in a
         raidz configuration depends on  the  characteristics  of
         the  data  being written. In addition, ZFS reserves some
         space for internal accounting that the  zfs(1M)  command
         takes into account, but the zpool command does not.  For
         non-full pools  of  a  reasonable  size,  these  effects
         should  be invisible. For small pools, or pools that are
         close to being completely full, these discrepancies  may
         become more noticeable.
