iCal/Darwin Calendar Server 2.0 and the Address Book Server look pretty cool, ZFS is definitely cool, and the Remote Access thing is vague, but interesting:
Apple - Server - Mac OS X Leopard - Snow Leopard
The rest: meh...
Any word whether ZFS will be an option for Snow Leopard Client?

I really don't think ZFS will be very useful for desktop workloads...

My Mac is a Pismo G4/550: 1GB RAM, 40GB 5.4k, Airport, DVD-R, and still black, silent and curvaceous!

Just for Time Machine backups, but that might come with 10.7.

Perhaps not to the iMac user, but the Mac Pro user would benefit greatly. I want to be able to use my 4 drive slots effortlessly. I don't particularly care having 4+ drives show up in the Finder...I want a single reliable pool.

HFS+ is also extremely chatty and poor performing. It is quite possible that ZFS would offer a noticeable performance boost. HFS+ is very long in the tooth and time to be replaced, and it would likely be in Apple's best interests to standardize on one file system.
I believe ZFS also includes file system level metadata which might be of use, although I'd imagine that Apple would stick with using xattr since it is portable across different file systems that support it.
