What do you mean by "under different devices"?

  # zpool import foo
  cannot import 'foo': a pool with that name is already created/imported,
  and no additional pools with that name were found

so, no, 'zpool import foo' does not work.  That's the same output as it
gave before I re-created the zpool and simply copied the "zpool.cache"
file from 9.1 (local disk) to -current (NFS) but at that time showed
the pool as "UNAVAIL".

Whenever I boot 9.1 from local disk, it's mounted and available but
whenever I boot -current, 'zpool' and 'zfs' say it exists, but it's
not mounted.

Hmmm.  While composing this message, I ran 'zfs mount foo' manually
and it is now mounted.  I'm sure I tried that before and it did nothing
then.

It's automagically mounted when I boot 9.1 without needing an entry in
"/etc/fstab".  Why not when booting -current?
