I think one simple way to test that is to create a replication stream for some filesystem with `zfs send` on first machine and check whether this stream is received correctly on the second machine. I'm mostly sure that you wouldn't lose your data, however Solaris is staying with ZFS v28 since the last release and FreeBSD is progressing slowly with Illumos. I'm pretty sure that 9-STABLE is already using ZFS feats and any pool created with current STABLE would not become writable for Solaris. -- Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.
