FreeBSD‘s ZFS can encryption/decryption support for datasets ？

Solaris is done ？

http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+zfs-crypto/WebHome

This project has completed and is available in Solaris 11 Express:

This project will provide on disk encryption/decryption support for ZFS datasets. The project will cover the addition of encryption and decryption to the ZFS IO pipeline and the key management for ZFS datasets.

It will support different key management strategies by allowing scripting of the zfs(1) command for key load/unload/change and an API in libzfs.

ZFS crypto is part of ZFSv31. ZFSv31 is only available as part of Solaris 11 Express. It has not yet been released as open-source. Oracle has "promised" to open-source it once Solaris 11 has been released. We're all hoping this will be the case.

FreeBSD currently includes the latest open-source version of ZFS: ZFSv28.
 
If Oracle breaks it's "promise" do we have a fork waiting to be a 'drop in replacement' like the rest of Oricle's F/OSS projects( i.e. mysql, openoffice, java)
 
Yes. There's a ZFS Working Group comprised of devs from all the open-source OSes that use ZFS (FreeBSD, Linux, Nexenta, OpenIndiana, etc) and some of the commercial users (Nexenta, GreenBytes, etc). They are working on a way to continue developing ZFS even if Oracle closes the source. Search the zfs-discuss mailing list for more information.
