No more than to identify main package from cooker that are installable on 8.2. 
Some do, some don't.

Contrib packages for 8.2 are in mandrake directory
Contrib packages for cooker are in mandrake-devel directory
It is not just a subdirectory question, it is a question of maintaining 
packages for a target distribution, which is costly. Ask Buchan, if you want 
details :-)
Rebuilding from source solves only binary dependencies, not actual setup 
differences. Think of kde3 setup differences between 8.2 and cooker, for 
instance.
