I don't see a problem with it if you can plug in the scsi drives to a hardware platform which is otherwise identical or similar to server. You can just format the hard drive on the new system and dump the whole partition from the server to the new system (except /proc and /tmp) and I suppose it would work (this is how I moved my gentoo from a partition to another).
