I have an zpool which is made up of desktop drives at 7200. I have a failing drive and need to replace it. Can a I replace the single drive in a 6-drive pool with a 5400 NAS drive.

Yes, a pool can contain heterogeneous drives, although it's not recommended.

Yes it'll work just fine.,

I see no reason to recommend against it. At worst it will reduce read/write time very slightly.
