ufs to zfs?

I have an extra hard drive. Would it be possible to create a new slice on a new harddrive with zfs and cp or cpdup everything over? I would like to try zfs but I don't want to reinstall everything from scratch and rebuild all ports. It'd be nice to just have a copy of my current system, except using zfs.

Adjust the newfs usage to whatever you have to do for ZFS.
