if there are only a small number of users you should probably just recreate them by hand. For a large number of users I would write a shell script to do the user account creation.
You certainly can use cpio to copy over the data but don't expect any executables or libraries to work.

MCOOKIE(1) Linux Programmer's Manual MCOOKIE(1)
NAME
mcookie - generate magic cookies for xauth
SYNOPSIS
mcookie [-v] [-f filename]
DESCRIPTION
mcookie generates a 128-bit random hexadecimal number for use with the X authority system. Typical usage:
xauth add :0 . `mcookie`
The "random" number generated is actually the output of the MD5 message digest fed with various pieces of random information: the current
time, the process id, the parent process id, the contents of an input file (if -f is specified), and several bytes of information from the
first of the following devices which is present: /dev/random, /dev/urandom, files in /proc, /dev/audio.
BUGS
The entropy in the generated 128-bit is probably quite small (and, therefore, vulnerable to attack) unless a non-pseudorandom number gener-
ator is used (e.g., /dev/random under Linux).
It is assumed that none of the devices opened will block.
FILES
/dev/random
/dev/urandom
/dev/audio
/proc/stat
/proc/loadavg
SEE ALSO
X(1), xauth(1), md5sum(1)
AVAILABILITY
The mcookie command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.
