Actually, I just did this, I copied the cygwin directory installed on 
another machine to a new one (This is all Win98) - but I didn't install 
everything, I just installed the binutils using setup and then deleted the 
newly installed directory and copied the old directory to the new path.

Here is a diff of what changed in the registry with the install:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/]
"native"="D:/cygwin"
"flags"=dword:0000000a

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/bin]
"native"="D:/cygwin/bin"
"flags"=dword:0000000a

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/lib]
"native"="D:/cygwin/lib"
"flags"=dword:0000000a

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Cygnus Solutions]

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin]

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2]
"cygdrive prefix"="/cygdrive"
"cygdrive flags"=dword:00000022

Conceivable it should be possible to edit the registry by hand and add 
these or change the mount points if these entries already exist.  Or it 
should also work to create a cygwin.reg file with this in it and just 
double-click that file (although I haven't tested it, so I don't know if it 
works...):

REGEDIT

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 \/\native = 
D:/cygwin
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 \/\flags = 
dword:0000000a
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts 
v2\/usr/bin\native = D:/cygwin/bin
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts 
v2\/usr/bin\flags = dword:0000000a]
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts 
v2\/usr/lib\native = D:/cygwin/lib
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts 
v2\/usr/lib\flags = dword:0000000a
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\cygdrive 
prefix = /cygdrive
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\cygdrive 
flags = dword:00000022
