What you do is use the ports in non-RAID mode (i.e.
make them all regular SATA ports) and use mdadm to
create and manage the RAID array.

Exactly. Give them a raid filesystem, then create the array using mdadm, then put whatever filesystem on it that you want - I use reiserfs. Below is my mdadm.conf:
DEVICE /dev/sda* /dev/sdb* /dev/sdc* /dev/sdd*
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=4 auto=yes UUID=9b1c10ee:174c369e:815e8d0
7:1e7570a3
devices=/dev/sda,/dev/sdb,/dev/sdc,/dev/sdd
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=4 auto=yes UUID=9b1c10ee:174c369e:815e8d0
7:1e7570a3
devices=/dev/sda,/dev/sdb,/dev/sdc,/dev/sdd
