You can boot up 4.2.x xraid2 on some OS6 NAS, but you still need to save the data off, and rebuild from scratch. That is intended to help people with failed older NAS - so it doesn't apply to you.
I think your best option is to get new disks for the new NAS, and migrate over the network (copying data via a backup job).
Though if the disks are good, you could migrate one disk to the RN104 (which will then be rebuilt), and then copy the data over the network. Then remove the second disk, and add it to the RN104 array. If anything goes wrong you can lose data though, because you lose redundancy when you migrate the first disk.
Though [lecture]you really ought to have a backup strategy in place anyway. RAID is not enough to keep your data safe[/lecture]
