Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do that at the moment. You need to hack that manually, however you may try:

1. Create a new empty profile with changed flow-sources.
2. Move rrd files and existing data directory to the new profile.
3. Move profile.dat to the new profile and add the new sources in the profile.dat file.

This should work, but I never tried it.
