FreeNAS has some ZFS support, I believe: "ZFS integration has been done in 0.7, so it is possible to create pools and datasets via WebGUI.", from an old entry at http://freenas.blogspot.com/

Unfortunately ZFS depends on the Solaris fault management daemon (fmd) to handle failing disks by itself, something FreeBSD doesn't yet have a replacement for.

I can't remember the name, but there is an opensolaris NAS software package. I really want a hardware appliance based on ZFS, though. I'd rather not spend time setting it up.

Were you thinking of Nexenta http://www.nexenta.org/os ? They use the OpenSolaris kernel with their own GNU/Debian linux distribution.
