Case-insensitivity "support" for ZFS is already present, but hasn't been ported or tested yet on OS X. As for the resource fork, ZFS supports named streams/EAs natively so this won't be a problem. Even with our old implementation of UFS, resource fork support and functionally was still 100% present, though admittedly 2nd class via Apple Double or those "turd" files we're all fond of.
