There is a patch available on GitHub posted by satmandu. Here is the patch I made for this package. I tested it on linux-zen 5.6.2 and it seems alright so far.

OpenZFS currently supports Linux kernel versions 4.18 - 6.14, as declared in the META file.
Options if your Linux kernel's version is not within that range:
1) Switch to another Linux kernel, such as
linux-lts.2) Prevent your kernel package from upgrading to an unsupported version until OpenZFS increases the maximum supported kernel version.
3) Modify this package to support your kernel by patching it on your local machine.

When requesting changes, please include detailed reasoning for the change.

If you receive this error when trying to build, it is because you have not imported the GPG keys used for verification.
You have two options:
1) Import the two keys into your keyring. ArchWiki article. You can find the key IDs in the PKGBUILD file, in the
validpgpkeysarray. (recommended)2) Alternatively, you can skip this verification by passing the
--skippgpcheckargument tomakepkgwhen building. (not recommended)
