Something like this?

Code:
awk -F = '{ key[++i] = $1; value[i] = $2 }
END {
  printf "key"; sep="="; for (j=1; j<=i; ++j) { printf ("%s%s", sep, key[j]); sep="|" }; printf "\n";
  printf "value"; sep="="; for (j=1; j<=i; ++j) { printf ("%s%s", sep, value[j]); sep="|" }; printf "\n";
}' file

If NR is defined in the END block in your variant of awk, you can replace the variable i with NR (and of course incrementing it is then done implicitly).

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
