How much is a bunch of rocks?
Other members, keep in mind that moving a tank and setting up a new tank is a very similar process. In fact I'd say the only difference is the knowlege factor. I'll be moving my tank in a few weeks and only plan on taking about 25% of the water with me. Last time I moved it I didn't even have a cycle because of my live rock.
Beermaster, the live rock you get on May long in the right quantity will work in your favour if the tank isn't quite cycled. You should be safe as far as ammonia and nitrites are concerned, but I'd really recommend a water change before adding the corals just to be safe. The live rock will contain a lot of nitrifying bacteria to seed your tank. Do you have test kits and proper lighting for the corals you'll be getting?
I think you'll do fine if you do several small water changes and reading, over the next month after stocking your tank.
