I believe MegaRAID (and hence PERC 5 / 6) uses DDF - which is an open standard - but SAS6 (LSI 106x/107x SAS etc.) don't (BICBW).
dmraid and recent mdadm will allow you to read/modify the raw metadata. If you are just looking to move the drives and don't mind about using the SAS6's raid features, then dmraid, or a recent mdadm may be the easiest solution - the drives would just be a JBOD, with the RAID implemented in the Linux kernel (using either dm, or md).
