I'll take a crack at this.
First off, I'm assuming that the RAID you are talking about it provided
by the hardware and not by ZFS.
IF that's the case, then it will depend on the way you created the raid
set, the bios of the controller, and whether or not these two things
match up with any other systems.
A few of the RAID controllers I have played with has an option to
'rebuild' a raid set, which I get the impression (though have never
tried) allows you to essentially tell the controller there is a raid set
there, and if you set it up the same way as before, it will use work.
Personally, unless I was moving the disks to another system with the
same RAID controller and BIOS, I would have no expectation it would
work. It might, but I would not be surprised (or disappointed) if it did
not.
If you are talking about using ZFS's raid, then you won't need to do
anything. It should just work, as ZFS will be able to just import the zpool.
I hope I understood your question. (And I hope I'm telling no lies... ;)

+ a little addition to the original quesion:
Imagine that you have a RAID attached to Solaris server. There's ZFS on RAID.
And someday you lost your server completely (fired motherboard, physical crash,
...). Is there any way to connect the RAID to some another server and restore
ZFS layout (not loosing all data on RAID)?
