Have you tried deleting the /lib directory, or at least renaming it to
/lib.bad (or something similar)?

You'll need to boot from a rescue disc or boot single user with /rescue/sh
as your shell, and then reinstall /lib from known good media (or 
"make installworld" in /usr/src)

That may leave problems in the ZFS metadata still, but it should (in theory)
let you continue using the system

P.S. I haven't tried any of this myself so be careful
