I know it's probably too late for this to help, but I always move my entire home directory (at least) when I migrate to a new computer.  That way, I've saved all of my settings, mail (if I'm storing it there), files, backgrounds, etc.

Leopard will automatically convert older configurations when they load, and they'll end up as close to the original as possible.  For example, it will keep all of your Dock icons in the same order when you upgrade.  It will also preserve all of your application settings (like bookmarks), even though the app itself is new.
