Like this, more or less:

root@pumpkin:/etc # gpart add -t freebsd -s 10G ada0
ada0s2 added
root@pumpkin:/etc # gpart add -t freebsd -s 10G ada0
ada0s3 added
root@pumpkin:/etc # gpart add -t freebsd -s 10G ada0
ada0s4 added, but partition is not aligned on 4096 bytes
root@pumpkin:/etc # zpool create tada raidz2 /dev/ada0s2 /dev/ada0s3 
/dev/ada0s4
root@pumpkin:/etc # zpool status tada
   pool: tada
  state: ONLINE
   scan: none requested
config:

     NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
     tada        ONLINE       0     0     0
       raidz2-0  ONLINE       0     0     0
         ada0s2  ONLINE       0     0     0
         ada0s3  ONLINE       0     0     0
         ada0s4  ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors
root@pumpkin:/etc # df
Filesystem   1K-blocks   Used     Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ada0s1a 253911544 902528 232696096     0%    /
devfs                1      1         0   100%    /dev
tada          10033936     96  10033840     0%    /tada
root@pumpkin:/etc #

Of course, if one wanted a 3-device raidz2 vdev in production in the 
first place, you'd do
well to have the partitions on 3 different drives, much better 
performance and resilience
that way.  But the logical structure of the ZFS vdev is the same.

Why are you so certain that this is impossible?
