Snow Leopard (Wikipedia) was released Fri 2009-08-28 and does NOT include ZFS (so sad...).
Mixed Gathered Info
The below was written Nov 2008:
Snow Leopard (Wikipedia) is in development and is expected to be released sometime 2009 (written Nov 2008). The big thing we're currently most exited about is it's supposely to include a new - great! - file system: ZFS. Read more in Apple announces ZFS on Snow Leopard (ZDNet, June 19th, 2008).
