I have a mac mini running as an OSOL box. The OS is installed on the

If I add an external block device (USB / Firewire) to rpool to
mirror the internal hard drive and if the internal hard drive fails,
can I reboot the system with the detached internal drive but with
the degraded mirror half on the external drive?
I think that this should work. It depends on the ability of GRUB to
boot from your USB/Firewire drive. If you add the mirror drive, you
should be able to test GRUB's ability to boot from it via the GRUB
menu.
