All I did was rsync off to a FW disk beforehand, and pull bits back as I needed them (same as I did when I moved from PPC to Intel, or from PPC to newer PPC before that, etc.). I used the migration assistant once (when I was migrating to a new machine in a hurry), but really, moving to a new (or reinstalled) machine is a chance to leave a lot of rubbish behind... There are 3rd-party-built Intel binaries for SSHkeychain just a google away. I couldn't find one for Netgrowler (handy if you haven't tried it), but that's easily recompiled from source. A bandwidth saver for MacPorts might be to rsync $your_macports_root/var/db/dports/distfiles from the old machine - I didn't bother 'cause I figured I'd try and restrain myself anyway. Having shelled out a questionable amount of money for a .mac account sorta helped, too - stuff like the keychain and mail settings and addressbook and yojimbo data came straight over.

I had to do that. Let me know if you want the Intel binary of SSHKeyChain I'm using.
