Do you know what triggered these problems in the first place? It looks like c0t0d0 had some kind of failure... is it working again now?

Try using the non-destructive read tests in format to see if you can read the entire c0t0d0 device.

If it seems to be working okay again, you should be able to use metareplace -e d0 c0t0d0s0, for example, to replace the disk with itself (and repeat for the other mirrors of course). Otherwise you may need to replace that disk first... probably a good idea to have a spare disk handy anyway if it is indeed beginning to fail.
