You can do this with ZFS, you just have to do it manually, ie by partitioning up the disks in say 100GB or 1TB partitions, then construct vdevs using these partitions.
You can then extend the pool by adding more such partition-based vdevs as you replace disks, just add the new partitions and add new vdevs.
So if you have a 1TB disk, a 2TB disk and a 4 TB disk, you could have mirrors (d1p1,d3p1), (d2p1,d3p2), (d2p2,d3p3) with a total of 3TB mirrored, and 1 TB available. If you swap the 1TB for a 2TB disk, partition it, replacing the old d1p1 partition with the new and resilver, and once that's done you can add the mirror (d1p2,d3p4) and get the full 4TB redundant storage.
Not a great solution though, as it requires a lot of manual work, and especially write performance will suffer because ZFS will treat the vdevs as being separate and issue IOs in parallel to them, overloading the underlying devices.
