Personally I think JSF is a deranged mess. After watching Craig and his clan go over at JavaOne I was like "and this is 'better'???"... However I asked him, he said that Struts would have a JSF compatibility layer. Theoretically JSF is the same idea as EJB only for the UI layer or that�s what they're billing it as. Theoretically, you're not going to write all of the stuffola surrounding it, you're going to buy Sun's tools.
If you want MVC...look at Tapestry, it doesn't suck.
