You can mount them to the same mount points than on your actual system, 
and every thing will be fine (see your actual '/etc/fstab/ file to see 
where they get mounted now).

If the driver for the cards are in newer kernels, it should be ok.

You should also move your actual SSD-drive to the new system, and do a 
parallel install to the new SSD-drive. A fresh Mythbuntu install will 
find the "old one" and propose you to put it in your grub menu, allowing 
dual-boot (other distros may do it as well). This way, you can start 
your old backend when you need it and test the new install. It is also 
convenient for copying config files from the old to the new system, e. 
g. your mythtv database.
