I'm really hoping that somebody chimes in on this because I have the same question.
Software RAID works on any matched pair of HDs, internal, external, whatever you have. Mirroring is mirroring, so this means if you screw up the software so that it won't boot, the "mirror" will also be screwed up. Apple's official solution to backup is Time Machine, which has the advantage of "going backwards in time" to get to a state that was known good. Theoretically this makes a Time Machine backup more robust and preferable to a mirror RAID backup. Time Machine requires Leopard.
