https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Settings_table lists the field names for settings  and "typical" (default?) data. Could be picked out of an ungzipped backup. You'd have to map those to UI items.

A hack-y way would be to capture the Setup screens you most-likely fiddled on your old FE with

wget http://FE_IP_Address:6547/MythFE/GetScreenShot -O ScreenNameXX.jpg

and then compare to adjust your new FE.
