i'm sure that you have already checked this out, but there is a howto in the 
wiki pages
http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSOnRootWithZFSboot

i tried this procedure twice on a i386 (once on a vm and once on an actual pc) 
and worked. (tho a nasty bug preventedme from keeping my root on zfs)
it's about a zpool and not raidz/z2, but i'm pretty sure that the same apply 
to those too.

cheers
