Assuming you have created your RAID 5 like this:
metainit d6 -r /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s6 /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s6 /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s6 -i 8k
Can't you grow it simply by doing this:?
growfs -M /mountpoint /dev/md/rdsk/d6

mkdevmaps
mkdevmaps(1M) System Administration Commands mkdevmaps(1M)
NAME
mkdevmaps - make device_maps entries
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/mkdevmaps
DESCRIPTION
The mkdevmaps command writes to standard out a set of device_maps(4) entries describing the system's frame buffer, audio, and removable
media devices.
The mkdevmaps command is used by the init.d(4) scripts to create or update the /etc/security/device_maps file.
Entries are generated based on the device special files found in /dev. For the different categories of devices, the mkdevmaps command
checks for the following files under /dev:
audio /dev/audio, /dev/audioctl, /dev/sound/...
tape /dev/rst*, /dev/nrst*, /dev/rmt/...
floppy /dev/diskette, /dev/fd*, /dev/rdiskette, /dev/rfd*
removable disk /dev/dsk/c0t?d0s?, /dev/rdsk/c0t?d0s?
frame buffer /dev/fb
