As far as I suspect, a ZFS raid can be read from FreeBSD and Solaris. Therefore you could boot from Solaris and create your ZFS raid, then reboot into FreeBSD and access the ZFS raid.
I am using a ZFS raid at home with Open Solaris. Open Solaris is quite similar to a modern Linux like SuSE. I have 4 Samsung 500GB drives in ZFS raid and it rocks. I am using the "AOC" PCI-X Sata-2 card with 8 Sata connections. It works right of the box with Solaris, in an ordinary PCI slot. Costs around 1200 USD in Sweden.
