ZFS currently does not have native encryption on either Linux or FreeBSD, but
it is coming soon. Currently both OSs need to use some form of block level
encryption either on top of, or beneath, ZFS. In Linux's case it is LUKS, and
FreeBSD it is GELI. Also ZFS handles RAID better than MDADM. Whenever using ZFS
and RAID, you should let ZFS handle it natively.
Probably what I would do for an encrypted ZFS RAID is this or similar (at least
until native ZFS encryption is available)
Zpool

Alternatively you could pool everything into a single zpool, then make an
encrypted dataset on top of the Zpool.
