I'm using this configuration at work on some of our Linux servers. A md software mirror of two devices with superblock at the end of the device (md metadata format 0.90 or 1.0) and GPT partitions created within the mirror. Makes drive replacements really easy: No need to copy partition table, rebuild multiple partition mirrors and remember to run grub-install on the new drive. So in theory this could work in FreeBSD, too. Practice may be different...
