yep, there are also prepared scripts in $SGE_ROOT/util/upgrade_modules/ called 
"save_sge_config.sh" and  "load_sge_config.sh" .

While the  "save_sge_config.sh" will do the correct thing, the 
"load_sge_config.sh" is meant to be used in an empty SGE installation. It might 
work in some cases even by overriding the previous setting, but if you have 
e.g. mutal settings in two queues for subordination of the other queue, you 
first have to remove this subordination in one queue before you can remove the 
other queue at all. And the "load_sge_config.sh" isn't so sophisticated to 
cover these cases.
