That depends on whether just the music is stored on the external drive and the iTunes library is stored in /Users/username/Music (like with my own setup), or whether the entire iTunes library and music files are stored on the external.
With the former setup, simply dragging the music files back into a new instance of iTunes will not preserve old playlists, smart playlists, ratings, etc. With the latter, it will (or, rather, it should).
