If you tar the files and untar them on the MacOS HD (HFS+), the symbolic
links should be fine.

I seriously doubt that bringing in a non-native file system is the
answer you are looking for.
Thanks for the link and the advice, Craig.
Now that I've looked into things, I agree with you about the
non-native filesystem.
But I'm missing something fundamental. How, without being on a
network, do I get the 30GB tar file off my disk and onto her computer?
Her Mac is in its packing box at the bookstore at her college in
Chicago. I live in Washington. I fly out tomorrow. In the short time
I'll be in Chicago, we'll have little time to mess with computer
stuff. She'll be busy with a million other "freshman orientation"
things. I'm clearly missing the obvious. Please clue me in.
Thanks.

a network is 2 computers and a network cable. Since the new MacBook will
clearly have 1Gb network connection, a simple cable between the 2
computers is your network and all you need to do is manually address
them on the same network/subnet and you can transfer the file(s) via
scp.
And you'd better use a "flipped" cable or it won't work. Or two
regular cables and a hub/switch.
