If it's a ccd, just configure a 1 disk mirror using ccdconfig.  See
ccdconfig(8) for more info.

But it sounds like this may be some proprietry RAID format used by
the controller in the NAS device.  Often the controller doesn't
actually do the RAID, so the OP might have some success using
ataraid(4) to attach the disks.
