My question is, outside of symlinking is there a way to tell os x NOT to do the default, but instead mount my /Volumes/zfsFS/Users @ /Users ?
This doesn't exactly answer your question, and you may already be aware of these options, but:
Some alternatives to what you are trying to do are:
1) You can set any user, on a per user basis at least, to use any arbitrary path. It used to be something you could only access through the server tools or command line, but in later releases of OSX its available right in the GUI (go to SysPrefs->Users, right click on the user, select "Advanced", and set the homedir to the path you want).
2) You can use something like LDAP to specify home directory policies, and point it somewhere else (even off box via AFP/NFS, if you wanted). For instance, I have an LDAP server running on my Synology NAS that directs the mac to automount /home via NFS, and all my home dirs are there.
Not sure if any of this helps you, but FYI.
Good luck!
