I don't think that's possible - at least in a way that I'd trust.  You'd 
need to run solaris, opensolaris, or freebsd for zfs and I don't think 
they do xfs natively.  There'd be some chance of running one or the 
other under VMware server or virtualbox with native access to the device 
(assuming both have drivers and they don't conflict), but even that 
sounds risky.
