All open-zfs come from basically the same source. The communities that 
use can make decisions on how it operates on their platform. The solaris 
and opensolaris distros have sharesmb and an in kernel cifs. Maybe try 
omnios. There is always some additional config, creating user, 
permissions, etc.

My company helps people walk through the differences of the different 
distros and recommend a platform. Feel free to contact me directly. I 
also have an open-zfs bootcamp videos series that show the similarities.

Also you might want to try something like freenas, that has everything 
you need to turn freebsd into a nas platform. There are also many, for 
purchase, software packages that do these things for you and include 
support, ie. cloudbyte, osnexus, nexenta, syneto...
