Darren,

There are 3 possible scenarios' I can think of:
1) Import the earlier release
2) Create a new area
3) Hand hack

1) Import the earlier release
1-1) Tag the current revision on the main trunk for all files 
1-2) Import version 1.0 to the vendor branch
1-3) Merge that version to the main trunk, having the vendor branch 
     overwrite the trunk in case of conflicts.
1-4) Check out that copy
1-5) Merge in the changes from the tagged revision from step 1-1

2) Create a new area
2-1) Import version 1.0 into a new module
2-2) Check out the main trunk
2-3) With help of diff and patch, update the sandbox from 2-2 with all
     needed patches from the previous module
2-4) Check in

3) Hand hack
3-1) Don't do it ;)

If I were you, I'd take route 2)
Guus
