Don't assume that this means feature parity, not by a long shot. ZFS on FreeBSD affords you native NFSv4 ACLs (hugely important in corporate settings), tight integration with jails, much better delegation support, the FreeBSD boot loader is actually updated to understand all the ZFS features, and offers boot environments and checkpoint rollbacks right from the boot loader menu (and not having to shuffle around with a dedicated /boot partition like you do on Linux).
If none of those features appeal to you, ZFS on Linux will seem very much the same. Indeed, within the limitations of Linux itself, ZFS does very well at providing every feature that Linux lets it provide.
