If you have access to /var/lib/mysql off the old system, simply copying the 
entire directory off your old setup and onto the new one works fine for me. 
I've done this a number of times to move my master backend from machine to 
machine without ever losing any program data. I've written about doing this a 
number of times in the past on this list, so search the archives if you want 
more details.
