You don't pass arrays per se to execve(). execve() takes pointers to
arrays. Just construct the array somewhere in your data
segment. Simple example:

section .data

str1:	db	"foo", 0
str2:	db	"bar", 0
str3:	db	"baz", 0
array:	dd	str1, str2, str3, 0

section .text

	push	str1		; filename
	push	array		; argv
	push	dword 0		; envp
	call	execve
