Mike, if you're not that keen on coding you can grab SPSource<http://spsource.codeplex.com/> to suck down the columns as XML schema definitions for re-use in a Site Column feature<http://blogit.create.pt/blogs/andrevala/archive/2008/03/26/SharePoint-2007-Deployment_3A00_-Site-Column-Features.aspx>. Writing a site column feature is a good first step to developing in MOSS as it's fairly straightforward.
If SPSource seems a little too geeky then you can do the same thing with SharePoint Manager<http://www.codeplex.com/spm>. Just drill down to the fields in the list, switch to schema view and copy out the XML to an elements manifest. For future reference, the predicament you currently find yourself in is precisely why Site Columns should always be used for these purposes.

Is that possible ?
