Yep.  It's as simple as:

  * label all the drives using glabel, while they're still attached to the
pool
  * use "zpool replace pool ad4 label/disk01" to replace 1 drive
  * wait for it to resilver
  * use "zpool replace pool ad6 label/disk02" to replace the next drive
  * repeat the resilver and replace until all the devices are replaced

This is what I did to one of our servers.  Works quite nicely.

There's no need to detach anything.
