In the meantime, you can use autofs to do something close to this if you like (sort of like the pam_mkhomedir module) -- you can have it execute a script that returns the appropriate auto_user entry (given a username as input). I wrote one a long time ago that would do a zfs create if the dataset didn't already exist (and assuming the homedir for the user was /home/<USERNAME> from getent).
