The following tips are just from my experience - others might have
different methods.

Quicksilver keeps all its data and preferences in the following
places:

~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver
~/Library/Preferences/com.blacktree.Quicksilver.plist
~/Library/Caches/Quicksilver
~/Library/Caches/com.blacktree.Quicksilver

Before switching Macs, copy all of these locations to a safe place.

If you're migrating, these paths should also be transferred to the new
MBP. Just install the latest QS from QSApp.com over the old one in
Applications.

If you're not migrating and starting from scratch, I suggest copying
the first two paths to their intended places and then installing the
latest QS. The last two shouldn't be needed, but I've occasionally
seen weird behaviour when deleting caches, such as lost mnemonics in
pane 1. Custom Catalog items in QS might be no longer valid. (You'd
likely see a white tray icon next to the entry instead of a file/
folder icon.) It's simple enough to delete an old entry and re-add it
by dragging the new path into the list, but it could be a pain if you
have a lot of broken entries. In this case, it might be worth moving ~/
Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Catalog.plist, relaunching QS
and building the Catalog manually.

It's possible you have old plugins that could cause QS to crash on
launch. Old versions of the Airport and Displays modules have been
culprits in the past. Moving ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/
PlugIns/ and relaunching would confirm this. Add the plugins back half
at a time to weed out the broken ones.

Subsequently, I'd imagine there'd be a fair number of plugins to
update. Check for updates in Preferences>Application to see if any are
available.

I've never migrated, preferring to start as cleanly as possible.
There's no way I would transfer without the Triggers.plist,
Actions.plist, Mnemonics.plist or the Shelves folder though - too much
stuff rebuild!
