Not that I'm aware of. There are a variety of tools to move a variety
of settings, but no one tool moves all relevant settings for a server
to another server.

The easy way to do this is for you to keep track of exactly what you
installed and what settings you changed via what steps, and automate
it, so that you can play-back the automation steps on a new server and
be pretty close to migration. Not only will this allow you to move
servers easily, it is also useful for disaster recovery if, say, your
server's hard drive fails, and for load-balancing/and reliability
through redundancy.
