Test it:
$ perl -e 'print crypt( "something", "salt" );'
Run that on both machines. If it returns the same thing, then they
probably are compatible and you can just copy your database.

Not sure about this one. Try it on a spare machine. I can't think of why
a tar archive wouldn't work, but again I'm not sure.
good luck,
