Not yet, see:
6429855 Need way to tell ZFS that caching is a lost cause

Is there a specific reason why you need to do the caching at the DB  
level instead of the file system?  I'm really curious as i've got  
conflicting data on why people do this.  If i get more data on real  
reasons on why we shouldn't cache at the file system, then this could  
get bumped up in my priority queue.
