Hello J.

you can try to run bsdinstall with script option. 
Create a file name it e.g rpi.bsdinstall and put


export DISTRIBUTIONS="kernel.txz base.txz"
export
BSDINSTALL_DISTSITE="https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/arm64/13.0-RELEASE/"

bsdinstall zfsboot


inside. Then run

bsdinstall script rpi.bsdinstall 

and follow the dialog. 

This to be said, i haven't used it with ZFS but with UFS to create VM Images
(amd64) successfully this way.
