I would then take that and import it into SQL Server using a little data parsing to clean things up. From there I would hope and pray that stsadm -o migrateuser would be able to migrate the permissions from the AD authentication provider to the SQL server authentication provider. If so I would batch script the entire thing and go listen to some Jack Johnson. So if it were me, I would do an LDIFDE of the AD – specifically the OUs with user information.

This unfortunately isn't really solved by the migrateuser command as that's a one time migration - new data requires that it be re-run. What you could do I suppose is to write a script that enumerates all users that are on a site and then map that to the new domain when the site is moved, but it still is something that has to be considered so that a user maintains owernship throughout the process.
