Do you mean domain/network/... XMLs or {libvirtd,qemu,...}.config files?
For the former I suggest 'virsh dumpxml $dom > dom.xml' and copying over
the file onto new machine and defining the domain again 'virsh define
dom.xml' (s/dumpxml/net-dumpxml/ and s/define/net-define/ for networks
and so on).
If you run new enough libvirt there's even 'virsh migrate --offline'
that encapsulates steps from above.
NB, i'm not sure this is clever enough to copy across the TPM state or
the EDK variables state, if you're using such feature.
