Every GPT partition have unique /dev/gptid/<uuid>, you can find it out with:
    glabel status

and instead of using e.x.:
    zpool create tank mirror ad4p3 ad6p3
you can use:
    zpool create tank mirror
gptid/0f32d2e6-c227-11de-8d6c-001708386b68
gptid/bc78a46e-c227-11de-8d6c-001708386b68

and you can swap disk without worries
