I just played a second fort in a world where I abandoned before for the first time. I had abandoned because of boredom and a little accident that flooded most of the fort... there were still 120 dwarves left, though.
Now I got those as immigrants: A few legendary soldiers, legendary miners, a grand master weaponsmith and a few talented masons. It seems a little exploity, but also awesome. The old fort was nothing special, but there were a some dorfs with legendary awesomeness and it's great to see those characters again. Even the old mayor came around. He was a hammerlord and also captain of the guard - judge, jury and executioner in one. Just imagine Judge Dredd as a drunk and moody midget. I think, he'll get his old job back some time soon, as defending the entrance from giant bushtits doesn't seem a proper job for him.

Have you ever had any of your old heroes re-migrate to you fort? And what about Urist McSoapmaker who survived the last fort by pure luck?

No.  My fortresses fall in a blaze of glory and a wave of undead parts or gas that turns you inside out.

... or both.

Generally mine all fight and die to the last or else go insane. It's a good agreement that I think makes the Dwarves more productive.

I love exploiting this: current fort has adventurer necromancer royalty, and the last fort was a shaolin monastery.

 I assembled the monks through 3 founding parties, all skilled in martial arts. They build the initial dome and then I embarked proper, and as the monks returned with migrant groups, I let them move in and forced the migrants to live a handscrabble existence outside. Then they made friends with the monks, died, and the monks tantrum spiraled

Legendary warriors, not so much. My military rarely reaches that point. Mostly they die in horrible ways before gaining any skill.

I did abandon a fort out of boredom (desert island embark) and have my Legendary Engraver show up. Still with his Nickname.

As I had posted earlier, I remembered to try an embark of the same civ.  It's a new experience to have Hunters arrive with masterwork crossbows and ammo issued during their military service, Legendary Miners arrive to show the present ones how it's done (funny to watch them carve a room while my embarker clears one block), my pre-trained militia arrives a few at a time, and my Legendary Cook has time to farm because he clears the stocks so quickly, plus he's just a better farmer too.  I'm still waiting for that half-insane vampire I had completely walled in for seven years.  Her new "room" has already been prepared.
Only part I don't like is burying all those infants that get dropped on arrival and never picked up again.  Makes for a spiral-prevention task I don't care to have.

Yeah, I've been doing this for a while: Pretty much all my forts now are exclusively legendary - anyone that's not at least master level gets left outside the fortress to die.

I once had a had a legendary soapmaker crawl into my new fortress after I had abandoned the old one due to unpreparedness for HFS. He had no feet.

Every Legendary dwarf I have gotten from a Migrant wave has turned out to be a vampire.
