You can mount all those filesystems, and then zfs send/recv them off
to another box. Its sucks, but as of now, there is no re-importing of
the pool UNTIL the log can be removed. Sadly, I think that log removal
will at least require importation of the pool in question first. For
some reason you already can't import your pool.

In my case, I was running B70 and could import the pool still, but
just degraded. I think that once you are at a higher rev (which I do
not know, but inclusive of B82 and B85), you won't be able to import
it anymore when it fails.
