I guess for any grouping apart from the "all block devices" group
gkrellm would currently need some block device file that it can monitor.
Does ZFS expose something like that? Eventually it's just a matter of
adding the necessary file naming scheme and device major/minor numbers
to gkrellm to monitor such devices.

Health information likely needs a dedicated plugin but I'm not aware of
anyone having written such a thing and I personally only use LVM so far.
