I am in the middle of a restore using this method, and have yet to see whether Time Machine in Snow Leopard successfully identifies the new drive as the same as the old drive. I tried Migration Assistant but it didn't appear to have the ability to select a specific hard drive to restore.
Prior to doing this I turned off Time Machine backups while this long restore was taking place. You can then go back to your last backup, select all the files and folders at the top level of your (old) drive, control-click on them and restore them. After that you need to open the (empty) drive in Finder and then "Enter Time Machine" from the Time Machine icon in the Menu Bar. Naming the brand new drive the same as the old drive is the first step, but it doesn't get your files restored.
