I have generally been able to untar an LFS system built on one computer onto another, provided the target computer is of the same processor family, and the same level or higher (e.g., source is Pentium III and target is Pentium IV). I always rebuild the kernel, because the hardware on the target is (for me at least) always different, but despite not having all the hardware working, the system has always worked well enough to build a new kernel for me. Even if the hard disk partitioning scheme is different, there are only a few places that need to be changed, although you would need some other way to boot and edit on the target system then. I'm no expert on this, but my experience has been that if the hardware and partitioning are the same, you would have no problem. Presumably you want to change some networking information such as host name after install, though.
