​When you create the pool on Solaris, pass along the version flag you want
to use (ZFSv28 is the last version in common with non-Solaris systems).

When you create the pool on FreeBSD, pass along the version flag you want
to use (ZFSv28).

That way, the pools are synced in their versions, and will support the same
featureset, and you will be able to send/recv between them.

​(And you will constantly get nagged in "zpool status" output about your
pool version not being the latest and greatest.  Would be nice to shut that
up somehow!)​
