I am sure there is but I don't know if you need it or not. When I used to transfer mac operating systems from one computer to another, I would just copy the operating system and its extensions, control panels and preferences.
By the way, I don't like Ghost. I
really liked a program called DriveImage.I forgot what company but you can look it up. It was at least twice as fast as Ghost in reinstalling the OS. Maybe they have a Mac version. It would probably help in reinstalling after system disasters. You definitely need it with a PC because they are very unreliable if you use a lot of apps since a PCs registry is not capable of holding a lot of programs and will break down.

Carbon Copy Cloner is probably your best bet on OS X.

Disk Copy can work on small drives, but last I checked, 2GB was its upper file size limit.
