Well I would have thought that as long as the DVD drive was unmounted before you swapped it would be fine.
I am not sure how you detect the hotplug event itself as I think IBM use some proprietary magic to make that happen on the ultrabay (Doesn't Windows detect the swap event when you pop out the release button...I think that's how my R40 works)
So the issue you will have of course is that your fstab won't reflect the drives on the system because no doubt it will have something like- /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 Which isn't going to be much use when trying to mount a hard drive.
