Besides the questions covered below, you may find Documentation and OpenZFS on OS X helpful. Both articles contain a good deal of information about OpenZFS on OS X.

Q) How can I access the .zfs snapshot directories?
A) You need to set snapdir visible and manually mount a snapshot.
$ sudo zfs set snapdir=visible tank/bob $ sudo zfs mount tank/bob@yesterday $ ls -l /tank/bob/.zfs/snapshot/yesterday/
Q) Is .zfs snapdir auto-mounting supported?
A) No, not at this time. You must manually "zfs mount" snapshots manually to see them in the snapdir.
Q) OK, I manually mounted my snapshot but still cannot see it in Finder. What gives?
A) Currently mounted snapshots are not easily visible in the Finder. You can see them in the Terminal, like this:
$ ls -l /tank/bob/.zfs/snapshot/yesterday/
and you can see them in the Finder like this:
$ open /tank/bob/.zfs/snapshot/yesterday/
or by using the "Go to Folder…" Finder menu item.
