Apparently it can, but I'm having issues with it:

My conf file says:
DEVICE /dev/scsi/host*/bus*/target*/lun*/part*
ARRAY /dev/md3 level=raid5 num-devices=7 UUID=7f69d69c:2d523219:4f3d1ea7:9b7f4057 devices=/dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target8/lun0/part1,/dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target9/lun0/part1,/dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target10/lun0/part1,/dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target11/lun0/part1,/dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target12/lun0/part1,/dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target13/lun0/part1,/dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target14/lun0/part1

gargamel:/etc/mdadm# mdadm -A  -v /dev/md3
mdadm: No identity information available for /dev/md3 - cannot assemble.

Any idea why 
mdadm -A -v /dev/md3 doesn't work?

Am I supposed to actually start the device with
mdadm -A  -v /dev/md3 /dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target*/lun0/part1 ?
or
mdadm -A  -v -u 7f69d69c:2d523219:4f3d1ea7:9b7f4057 /dev/md3 ?

(I thought mdadm would get that data from the config file)

Thanks
Marc
