Let's see. If you have database access you could try:
Backup your site or at least your database!
Create the new text area field.
Go to your database manager (probably phpmysql and perform a query consisting of your comprofiler table (probably jos_comprofiler) your old field name and your new field name:
Code:
INSERT INTO jos_comprofiler (cb_newfield) SELECT cb_oldfield FROM jos_comprofiler;
Confirm that the data was copied over and delete the old field.
Or something like that.. like I said: Backup!
