Ah, this is excellent, thankyou for all the work on this. A question though
- is the intnet to keep these as ports, or will the ZoL code be merged back
into the base, replacing the existing ZFS implementation?

I think we'll plan on replacing the base version when its ready. However the
port is super useful for testing new ZoL versions / fixes, so we'll probably
want to keep both around for the time being.
