Oh absolutely.  Also :

zfs_enable="YES"
#
# the iSCSI initiator
iscsid_enable="YES"
iscsictl_enable="YES"
iscsictl_flags="-Aa"
#

That explains the iSCSI device provided over 10Gbit :

titan#
titan# camcontrol devlist
<ST20000NM007D-3DJ103 SN03>        at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,ada0)
<ST20000NM007D-3DJ103 SN03>        at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (pass1,ada1)
<AHCI SGPIO Enclosure 2.00 0001>   at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (ses0,pass2)
<AHCI SGPIO Enclosure 2.00 0001>   at scbus6 target 0 lun 0 (ses1,pass3)
<SAMSUNG MZVKW512HMJP-000L7 6L6QCXA7>  at scbus7 target 0 lun 1 (pass4,nda0)
<FREEBSD CTLDISK 0001>             at scbus8 target 0 lun 0 (da0,pass5)
titan#

See the FREEBSD CTLDISK 001 ?  That is over iSCSI.

However, as I say, the devices exist but the pools vanish
  unless I import them and deal with them one by one.
