That's because ZFS works best with huge amounts of (Kernel-)RAM, and
i386 32-bit doesn't provide enough adressing space.

Btw, I've tried ZFS on two FreeBSD/amd64 test machines with 8GB and
16GB of RAM, and it looks very promising. I wouldn't put it on
production servers yet, but will eventually, once FreeBSD's ZFS
integration matures and stabilizes.
