Yep, this idea was previously discussed on this list -- search for "zfs split" and see the following RFE:

6400399 want "zfs split"


Note that current draft specification for NFSv4.1 has the capability
to split a filesystem such that the NFSv4.1 client will recognize it.
Then the new filesystem can be migrated to another server is needed.
