There's nothing like migrate or something, eh?
Yes you need the retail disc. Distros have modifications - even when you don't choose any patches.
The most important reason though is the bootloader. It would mess up the EFI partition boot.
Surely in some future distros, there will be the new Chamelion 2 attached. It fully supports the EFI partion.
I am running a retail EFI setup for a few months now, with no major problems. Chamelion 2 RC1 works like a charm.

There is no migration, except you setup the new system on a new harddisc and migrate from the old. That works well.
Best practise is having a working second OS X on a spare disk and making the needed modifications from there
after installing via 132 boot.
