Probably not.

You can try importing it read-only but if it refuses that then you're 
screwed. The reason is that ZFS spreads data in a given file around and 
as such it's likely that bits of various files are interspersed into the 
missing device, so a huge percentage of the files on the volume are in 
fact damaged and unusable.

/*Filesystem based "redundancy" is not a backup strategy!*/

The single disk will essentially degrade the performance of the whole pool, because it represents a unique (100Mb/sec, typical) transaction group now, and if you lose that one disk you will also lose the entire pool since it has no redundancy.

Thats another reason for FreeBSD-based front-ends to ZFS like FreeNAS.  The GUI adds some seat-belts to prevent users from trivially doing things like that.  On the command line, all bets are off.
