If you want to test out the experimental 3ware support in smartmontools, you can check out the CVS version or wait a few days for the 5.33 release (not sure when ports will be updated, however, as this is not a 'stable' release). I have added support for 7xxx series 3ware controllers (/dev/twe*), and I'm currently working on supporting the 9xxx series 3ware controllers (/dev/twa*).
