http://www.tldp.org's software raid howto has instructions on how to do this, 
and they work!
It says it's for RedHat but worked nicely on my 2.6.1 gentoo desktop.
I skipped the bits about booting off a rescue cd as I was only doing this on 
my /home partition. No need to create /dev entries as devfs takes care of 
that, and haven't bothered changing the partition type, works ok so far, but 
I haven't yet rebooted.
