Note that '.Xr zfsd 8' is incorrect usage until zfsd is actually imported.

I've been working on the handbook section on ZFS and made certain to
mention that, I'll have to look at improving the man page as well, but
as far as I know, the man page is imported from IllumOS, where spares do
work.
This is probably worthy of an in-tree man page update. FreeBSD has a
reputation for having highly accurate man pages, therefore people tend to take
what they read as gospel. Right now zpool(8) clearly spells out that hot spare
substitution works. When 10.0 goes live, people are going to believe that, and
unknowingly put themselves in a position where Bad Things could happen. Until
zfsd goes into the tree, zpool(8) should have a warning that the hot spare
functionality is not available under FreeBSD.
Proposed diff attached.
