The 9.3 installer includes automatic ZFS partitioning too; it might 
still be labelled as "experimental" but it works just fine. It might 
seem like it's making more datasets than necessary (eg under /var) but 
they come for free with ZFS so you may as well make use of them. It also 
uses some subtleties I never quite understood until reading Michael 
Lucas and Allan Jude's ZFS book, like the /usr dataset with "canmount=no".
