I don't have my disaster recovery notes in front of me. But if we're just going after the mailboxes shouldn't you just be able to bring up a new server (with the same name as the old Exchange server) on a new network, run dcpromo and then install Exchange with the same site and org names. Stop the services, replace the pub and priv and then restart the stores?
