As far as I remember, cpio doesn't copy flags. But you
can use either dump + restore, or dpdup (from ports).

>From "man cpdup":

	The cpdup utility makes an exact mirror copy of
	the source in the destination, creating and
	deleting files and directories as necessary.
	UTimes, hardlinks, softlinks, devices, permissions,
	and flags are mirrored.

Flags are explicitely mentioned here. Maybe you can give
this program a try?
