At least with 8.2 there is no problem to put a GPT in a gmirror. There are to warnings during boot (one from the bootloader and one from the kernel) but it's working fine. Of course you have to create the gpt inside the gmirror, not on the same device the gmirror is based on. The warnings occur, when the gpt is seen on the real disk. But later the gpt on the gmirror is used, and on the device created by gmirror, gpt uses the last sector of that device. I hope this will not change.
