In effect, I do it all the time but just a few categories at a time. 
However, it would work for any numbers of categories.

Database A = source of categories
Database B = to have categories added

Add a JPEG file to database A. I'll call it carrier.jpg.
The goal is to add all categories to carrier.jpg as keywords. There 
are a number of ways to do this but using an existing script might be 
the easiest.

In database B you need to go to Tools > IPTC Import and below 
Automatic Categorizing: select "Import IPTC keywords into IMatch 
Categories and at the bottom "Save these setting for future imports. 
Click [OK].

Now when you add carrier.jpg to database B, IMatch will add the 
categories from Database A.

However, if you have other images with IPTC and keywords, they will 
also be added. To avoid getting keywords from all IPTC, you can place 
  carrier.jpg in a folder by itself and with the proper settings in 
IPTC Import, limit the import to that one folder.
