Possibly.
A significant difference is the way arrays are assembled at boot time.
raidtools depended on raidstart (which never worked reliably and
doesn't work at all with recent kernels) or type-FD partitions, 
which I assume you weren't using.

mdadm has a lot more flexibility.  You can still use type-FD
partitions if you want, or you create /etc/mdadm.conf with roughly the
output of 
   mdadm -Ds

though it is worth understanding the contents of that file and making
sure it is what you want.
