That would depend on the transcoder you use. In theory the required
Replaygain values could change after transcoding (although in practice
the original FLAC-based ones would be close enough), so a transcoder
probably should not retain the RG tags.

Your best bet is probably to use MP3Gain. It uses the Replaygain
algorithm to compute the required volume change, then rewrites the
headers of all the MP3 frames with the new volume level. This works on
*all* MP3 playack devices. One drawback is that it can only write Track
Gain *or* Album Gain, not both. This may or may not be an issue for you.
