Ok I bumped our zfs-kmod fork to the last version available on portage and
injected it for every kernel versions we ship, let me know if all works for
you.
However I agree with Ben about the fact that if you are using zfs, you're
enough expert to manage the zfs, zfs-kmod, spl package version consistency.
About versions of zfs, I currently compiled the gentoo version of the
ebuild since practically don't have difference between our version and the
upstream one as you can see from the following diff:

If it's ok I will drop at least this atom from our for-gentoo overlay.
