Thanks for the tips.

If I do the fresh install from TSL3, can I simply overwrite the TSL3's 
/etc/{passwd|shadow|group} files with the ones from  the original TSL 2.2 
server?

I would certainly try that solution. You will need to update your boot 
setup and which modules you load, of course.
But that said, creating a fresh install on a VM with TSL3 and do the 
migration might also be useful. That fresh install you can snapshot and 
have ready for more servers :)

A quick search on Google gave me this:

Not 100% transferable to TSL, but seems to be a good method.
