Besides adapting the DNS to the new IP, I presume I can't just move the /home/sites/www.domain.tld directory to the new VPS because the CCE will moan; besides, there is this odd hidden sites numbering like ../.sites/132/site21/

Yes, that's a job for CMU tools.

On the outgoing system:
# cmuExport -n HOST.DOMAIN.TLD

That will export the site to /home/cmu/SERVERNAME/.   Take all of those 
files and transfer them to the new system using SCP, FTP, etc.

If you put those files in the "/home/import" directory, then you will 
use a command like this:
# cmuImport -d /home/import

I would encourage you to spend a little time reading up on CMU and how 
it works so you become familiar.   But once you are comfortable, that 
will be a good thing because CMU has been an integral part of managing 
BlueOnyx / BlueQuartz / Cobalt servers for a very, very long time. 
Although it's a bit long in the tooth these days, I would imagine we'll 
have CMU to kick around for some time.
