There sure is, Mark.  Pick up a copy of QEMM 5.x, it includes a loader
program to move stuff from conventional to high memory (between 640K and 1
MB) at boot time.  I'm not sure if 386-to-the-MAX has this or not (I hope
so).  Most TSRs don't mind being moved, as long as there's enough contiguous
high memory so the TSR can load (often times TSRs take a larger chunk to
load than the piece that stays resident).
