That would imply data loss.

I did some digging and found some specs on the zfs metadata.  There's 
four copies of the zfs metadata on the disk, two in the beginning, two 
at the end.  I disk-edited and changed the guid stored in the zfs vdev 
headers and that did the trick, it made the pool come back online for 
the (was /dev/ada1 disk).  The problem remains of getting the other (was 
/dev/ada4s4) disk to sync back in so it can repair some damaged files.
