So it looks like all info is lost. Can I create a new array with the
existing LVM partitions and the free partitions without destroying
any data?

Your raid appears to be on /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdd2
Try  mdadm --examine --brief --scan --config=partitions
and see if it sees anything.

# mdadm --examine --brief --scan --config=partitions

Nothing....
Indeed these are the partitions that are now unused and used to be part
of the raid. Any idea what could have gone wrong when I migrated to from
FC3 to Centos?
I also changed the mobo of this machine and changed the CPU from single
to a dual core one. I assume support is in the kernel, so no special
actions should be needed to get this to work during boot up.

When you upgraded you might have formatted the partitions accidentally.
If there is no raid data there, you can try something like testdisk to see if you can recover it, but chances are that your data is gone.
