A few large rubbermaid tubs and lots and lots of towels. Buy some extra heaters and powerheads.
Try to minimize the amount of time that the live rock is out of water. Transport them in water if you can. That's where the rubbermaid tub comes in handy.
The other rubbermaid tub you can use as a temporary holding tank for the fish while you set up the new tank in your house. It may take you some time if there is re-plumbing involve and if there is a cycle in the new tank.
If the fish and rock needs to sit overnight or longer, make sure they have a heater and a powerhead to circulate the water. For the fish make sure they have oxygenated water with a bubbler.
And yes, it is as painful a chore as it sounds.. It will be wet and messy and time consuming. Just go in expecting that and you should be fine :-)
