Many thanks Ricardo!! Let me play around first and see how this thing handles then hopefully I'll have a properly functioning wiki after the migration :-) The howto will be posted on it directly as are many other howto's already......

I can keep the Postgres database that isn't a problem as it's available on all platforms. However, when you say that Xwiki should be the same release I was hoping to just copy the webapps/xwiki container as if I'm not mistaken the xwiki.war file that I'm using gets extracted by Tomcat/Glassfish or other which fully contains the Xwiki instance minus the DB??.....
Minus the DB, and any edit file! Be careful with xwiki.cfg, hibernate.cfg.xml, any edit Velocity (*.vm) template and any library you have copied to WEB-INF/lib (for instance, MySQL connector must be copied there to allow XWiki to access a MySQL database).
Moving that should keep everything in check with a few additions to the hibernate.cfg.xml file if changing database! .....I presume as I need to test this out fully first before things blow up in my face!
I insist: remember to back-up xwiki.cfg and take not of what extra-libraries you are using!
