I don't know if it is possible at all but you really should try this at
home where you have direct access to the devices. Just an idea:
- get the nvram config from your OpenWRT you want to migrate
- configure an identical box at your office according to the old config
- try to extract the complete flash partition incl. fwcf
- write this partition to the router you want to upgrade (mtd)

As I said, I don't know if it works at all but if you have two spare
routers you can try. But to be honest, I think you will get problems
with the flash mapping driver as FreeWRT uses a layout like this:

~# cat /proc/mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00040000 00010000 "cfe"
^--- bootloader
mtd1: 00790000 00010000 "linux"
^--- the firmware image containing kernen, rootfs, data
mtd2: 002bcc00 00010000 "rootfs"
^--- squshfs (belongs to "linux" too)
mtd3: 00020000 00010000 "fwcf"
^--- FreeWRT's own config partition
mtd4: 00010000 00010000 "nvram"
^--- self explaining
mtd5: 00450000 00010000 "data"
^--- for overlaying the jffs2 partition, also included in "linux"

In OpenWRT you don't have fwcf and I don't know if you can create/map it
on a running router.

Maybe Waldemar can help you out here.
