I have a server running 5.4-RELEASE using RAID-5 on an Intel RAID

or some other way to save the current install and restore after setting

Running dump(8) and restore(8) would allow you to back up and restore
your system.
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dump
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=restore
This is typically used with tape, although you can dump to disk as well.
If your data/system is critical, you ought to already have some backup
strategy you could restore the system from to your new RAID. If not,
you might put one in place (RAID != backups).
