I can tell you I'm using ZFS on an i386 desktop with 1 GB RAM and it
is working flawlessly after some tuning, more specifically:

# For ZFS
vm.kmem_size="521M"
vm.kmem_size_max="512M"
vfs.zfs.arc_min="16M"
vfs.zfs.arc_max="64M"
vfs.zfs.vdev.cache.size="5M"
vfs.zfs.debug=1
vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable="1"

in /boot/loader.conf.local

Today it finished the compilation openoffice.org-alllangs-3.0.0
successfully (after 1 day and 14:42:21). Before tuning the options
I have, there were some problems and the machine used to hang after
some 3 or 4 hours of compilation but from the moment I added the
options on I didn't have a single crash of the machine.
So maybe you could still give it a try...? (-;
