Steve sent some mail the other day describing a procedure
for converting an internal log to an external log using
xfs_db - it should be in the mail archive, somewhere quite
recent.  He also gave lots of caveats, saying test it first,
its risky, etc, and you'll need Eric's endian bugfix in the
current version of xfs_db (see xfsprogs CHANGES file).

cheers.
