Do you get errors? There should be no real fundamental differences
betwene mkii and mmkiv wrt the interfac, but because font encodings are
gone and input is utf8 by default that might need to be changed.
Structure has more options. I think the biggest conceptual change in the
setups has been the way footnotes are configured. Of course there are
new commands too.
So, a small example triggering the issue would help,
Hans
ps. Of course the biggest change is that luatex is used instead of
pdftex/xetex.
