It depends. At a minimum, you should move the lists/LISTNAME/config.pck files and archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox files and run bin/arch on each list to rebuild the pipermail archives. The archives/private/LISTNAME/ directories and their contents will be created by bin/arch LISTNAME. The archives/public/* symlinks will be automatically created as lists are accessed. If any domain names changed, you will need to run fix_url. Aliases depend on whether they are manual or automated on the new server. If they are automated, you only need to run bin/genaliases after moving the lists. Even if manual, bin/genaliases should tell you what you need.
