In principle, it already exists. In practice, it might need more work. Use a ggated(8) + ggatec(8) pair to establish a remote volume that looks local, then use gmirror to make it a mirror of the local drive. The big gotcha is that ggated/c only moves i/o requests and data via the net, it doesn't move ioctls, so some things just won't work remotely. Or at least, that's what I've read.
