You could use a third party NT tool like Small Wonder's "Security Explorer" to backup the NT ACL's on the whole tree then restore them when you have completed the uid and gid changes.
But when it restores the ACLs, it will do so on all the files, thus converting all files to NTFS-style security, even though they were UNIX style before? I guess I can download the eval version and try it out. Even better would be a UNIX utility to do this kind of thing (investigating smbcacls from Samba right now).
