You can manually view and copy the information, then paste it back into a new PnP environment, sure.

1. Where to find the information
If you run the default user profile in PnP, which is generally the case, please open the following file:
Code:
//run notepad.exe $mircdirCONFIG\default\config.ini


You'll see that PnP stores the favorites information in the following .ini sections:

[fav]
[favopt]
[favserv]

2. Steps to take
You could backup the entire CONFIG directory under $mircdir (this saves all your settings!) or write yourself a script/alias that extracts only the favorites from config.ini and another script/alias that imports this information... You could even turn this into a general backup addon - that enables you to selectively choose what to backup and restore!
