I just wrote a Perl utility that will extract the Mahogany configuration
tree from the registry and write it to either a registry extract file or a
Mahogany config file.  It can also convert registry export files to config
format if your perl doesn't have the registry modules installed.  It's in
http://home.ix.netcom.com/~mchase/zip/M-Config.zip .  I just started it
yesterday, so there may be some rough edges, but I was able to export my
configuration and am running from the config file now.
