Nope, the underlying twe and twa drivers are not part of the ata subsystem

The drivers are certainly part of the base OS. Pop in the CD and you
can install directly onto the 3ware array. The management tools to
then manipulate the array can be either downloaded from 3ware or
built from the ports.
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/3dm/
make install
or just download the cli.
Also supported, are the smartmontools which are quite handy.
