As you want to do this programmatically thru a feature  you will have write the XML Structure of the list  and this blog will help you doing that quickly: www.andrewconnell.com/.../...t-List-Templates.aspx

Also consider using Visual Studio Extensions for WSS to create a feature to provision Sharepoint List, following blog can guide you: sharepoint.microsoft.com/.../Post.aspx%2Dd146%2D408b%2D87b3%2D31810794a8e4&ID=3

I can see 3 options:
- develop such tool that exports list  structure to XMl file and then and creates a list by the xml file structure.
- Export and import the list by using SharePoint Designer web package - office.microsoft.com/.../...ckage-HA010081923.aspx

- use 3rd party tool like tsunami - http://www.tzunami.com/Pages/default.aspx
