We're doing exactly the same thing now only we're on TSM 5.2.2.1. Just finished some preliminary testing. TSM still uses the /dev/rmt/*st entries for the drives. There are two "st" entries for each drive being they have two fiber ports. We had some issues with our fiber cards not supporting the drives - we went from Qlogic to Emulex and don't have any issues now. Other than that it was pretty straightforward. Once you have defined a drive and a path, you can see the wwn and trace that back to the drive to come up with a matrix so you know which "st" entry belongs to each drive.
