From which one to which one ?

Is there ANY way to either export this sort of thing so that I can re-do on new server or is it going to be a manual process only?

I did think about maybe creating a flash archive of the entire system and doing a flash install from DVD for Solaris on the new machine? Not that straightforward though.
You are close. Assuming you have no non-global zones, the easiest way would be to use Solaris P2V (physical to virtual) functionality.

The steps are
- create a flash archive
- move it to the new system
- create a zone
- install the zone from the flar updating it
