I added a lot of words to the standard Mac OS X system-wide dictionary on a given machine, and would like to transfer that specific list of words to another machine. Where / in what file(s) is that list of words stored?

For those attempting to find the Unix standard words file, it's at /usr/share/dict/words.

Are you certain you really mean system-wide? If I add a custom spelling, in Snow, it seems to end up here:
~/Library/Spelling/LocalDictionary
The System-wide equivalent, which is empty on my Mac, would be here:
/Library/Spelling/
Aside from this, you will find packaged dictionaries here:
/Library/Dictionaries/
~/Library/Dictionaries/
