Yep, or revert to default where rc.d/zfs depends on rc.d/mountcritlocal.

  $ svn co -qr223699 svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/8/etc/rc.d
  $ rcorder rc.d/* | nl | sed /zfs/q

No idea. Try basic check with

  $ diff -ur /usr/src/etc/rc.d /etc/rc.d
  $ mergemaster
  $ mergemaster -s

unless someone else can reproduce your issue.
