Aside from the methods suggested by others there is no official way to
move content from the Havok4 beta to the main Second Life.  However, I
think we should have some Havok4 beta sandboxes up really soon now. 
There was talk about getting them up as early as last week - since that
didn't happen I won't speculate any further on when it will.  :)  As
Sidewinder said in his post to the blog we are already running some
Linden regions on Havok4 simulators.
