Not a clue. That's something you'd have to research and see how they do their stuff, how we do our stuff, and if the 2 are compatible. I will tell you that most people that I've seen move from NAS4Free to FreeNAS have ZFS pools that import and "just work". Then later on(weeks or months) the pool is suddenly corrupted and unmountable and they lose everything. No clue why and since I don't want to spend the time to learn NAS4Free I don't think anyone else knows. My advice is that if you want to migrate over to FreeNAS to create your ZFS pools and stuff with FreeNAS. Don't try to import them or anything as it'll work now and you'll pay for it later.

Is there no possibility to import ZFS volumes?

It depends upon the type of UFS RAID and ZFS pool version. If supported, you can auto-import using the instructions in http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Volumes#Auto_Importing_Volumes.
