Move the following file and directories:

/var/named/conf/zones
/var/named/conf/zoneopt/
/var/named/hosts/

If the new slave machine will be a slave for every master zone on the
new master, without any other zones, then rather than migrating your
old data, it's simpler to just recreate it. There's an AppleScript
for this called Add Slave Server, and it's included with QuickDNS
Manager.
