If you use zpool create -f pool name 7th slice, yes, it'll destroy
the filesystem that's on that slice and you won't be able to access any
of the data presently on it.
If you do zpool create pool 7th slice
where slice has a UFS filesystem, and is mounted, it should print an
error message, saying that
a) there's a filesystem present
b) it's mounted
- so you need to unmount it, and use the -f flag.

In more detail:
(snip newfs of c2t1d0s1 to put a UFS filesystem on it)
# mount /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s1 /tmp/a
# zpool create pool c2t1d0s1
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
/dev/dsk/c2t1d0s1 is currently mounted on /tmp/a. Please see umount(1M).
# umount /tmp/a
# zpool create pool c2t1d0s1
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
/dev/dsk/c2t1d0s1 contains a ufs filesystem.
# zpool create -f pool c2t1d0s1
