I think one simple way to test that is to create a replication stream 
for some filesystem with `zfs send` on first machine and check whether 
this stream is received correctly on the second machine.

I'm mostly sure that you wouldn't lose your data, however Solaris is 
staying with ZFS v28 since the last release and FreeBSD is progressing 
slowly with Illumos. I'm pretty sure that 9-STABLE is already using ZFS 
feats and any pool created with current STABLE would not become writable 
for Solaris.
