CMF 1.5 introduced a new 'portal_setup' tool which is designed to export
such configurations in an extensible way:

  http://cvs.zope.org/CMF/CMFSetup

Unfortunately, I don't believe any shipping version of Plone is
compatible with CMF 1.5, and the tool as configured expects a few things
which break in CMF 1.4.  You might be able to hack around that breakage,
however.
