I've used the migration wizard a few times recently to keep as much as possible during a re-install.
It's not infallible but it can export a lot of your settings, even to the point where you can export on XP x86 with Office 2003 and then import on W7 x64 with Office 2007 and everything is kept. It's far from a complete solution but it can take quite a sting out of the 32->64 bit conversion if you have a lot installed/configured.
