Yes, there is.
dpkg --get-selections > selections.txt

take that file with you (selections.txt), then on the new system do:
sudo dpkg --set-selections < selections.txt
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade

Then it will go and install all the packages you have installed now on
the new system.
If you want thinks *exactly* the same then you'd want to copy your /etc
and /home directory's to the new system too to copy all the
configuration over.
