From the AppleInsider forum comes an interesting discovery about ZFS and Apple. A user who has the Leopard WWDC preview searched the system with Spotlight and found a mention of ZFS. He says: "There is no file system bundle for it, nor is there a mount utility or any other one (no fsck, now newfs, etc.). There is, however, a changed vnode.h."

Just because ZFS is mentioned in an enum type in a header does not mean at all that ZFS will be included in Leopard. You will find for example lots of processor architecture defines in windows.h (MPPC, 68k!) and Windows does not support those.
Eventually Apple will switch to ZFS but changing the default filesystem of the OS takes time because it simply has to work perfectly. No errors acceptable there.
As was pointed out in the thread, maybe 10.6
