Yeah, it's easy.  We did it here.

Have your frontend(s) and mupdate master machine ready to go.  Then just 
switch the config to murder on the backend and restart cyrus.  It should 
populate the mupdate master with the mailbox list, and the frontend should 
get the mailbox list from the mupdate master (probably need to restart the 
frontend).

In our case, the next step was to "rename" mailboxes onto the second 
backend server to distribute them around.
