Plans, yes. Implementations, no, not yet.

One of the things in the Bugzilla yet-to-be-implemented features
list is a dump/restore utility. The intention is for the restore
function to be extremely flexible about coping with missing/out-of-date
data. So, if there's no ACL in a restored database, it'll use a
reasonable default. 

Unfortunately, it's not yet written.  It will have to get done
soon. There are too many things that need to be done.
