The .qgis file is a simple xml text file, which you can edit with everey 
text editor. I use notepad++ on Windows for such things.

If you use relative paths, make sure not to move your datasources or 
qgis files within the file system. Interchanging between Linux and Mac 
may most probably not work though.
