VT-D is only going to matter, in a small degree to virtualization.. i.e. passing hardware resources directly to a hypervisor's VM..
so if you are running OS X on your Mac Pro as its operating system (bare metal) and running ZFS on top of that .. vt-d does not come into play and ZFS gets the storage devices at the hardware level..
and as brendon says.. a Mac Pro 3,1 is plenty good for a home filer, media server, etc.
