So there is no current way to specify the creation of a 3 disk raid-z array with a known missing disk?

No, because we currently can't add disks to a raidz array. You could create a mirror instead and then add in the other disk to make a three-way mirror, though. Even doing that would be dicey if you only have a single machine, though, since Solaris can't natively read the popular Linux filesystems. I believe there is freeware to do it, but nothing supported.
