You could in theory have a zvol exported from a ZFS pool on FreeBSD to Linux via some remote block dev protocol. iSCSI comes to mind, as it would have to be cross platform. Then slap ext4 on top of that in Linux.
The idea feels "janky" though. Lots of overhead compared to just running ZFS on Linux.
