Digamos que la tabla se llama mytable y se ve así:
CREATE TABLE mytable
(
X VARCHAR(10)
);
Vamos a cargarlo con datos de muestra
mysql> drop database if exists user1267617;
Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.10 sec)
mysql> create database user1267617;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> use user1267617
Database changed
mysql> CREATE TABLE mytable (X VARCHAR(10)
-> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.11 sec)

Aquí está el código que necesita:
CREATE TABLE mytmp
(
id int not null auto_increment,
X varchar(10),
groupnum int,
groupndx int,
primary key (id)
);
INSERT INTO mytmp (X) select X from mytable;
UPDATE mytmp SET groupndx = MOD(id - 1,4),groupnum = FLOOR((id - 1)/4);
alter table mytmp add index (groupnum);
select * from mytmp;
CREATE TABLE mynewtable
(
id int not null auto_increment,
groupnum int,
colA varchar(10) default '',
colB varchar(10) default '',
colC varchar(10) default '',
colD varchar(10) default '',
key (groupnum),
primary key (id)
);
insert into mynewtable (colA,groupnum)
select X,groupnum from mytmp where groupndx = 0;
update mynewtable A INNER JOIN mytmp B ON A.groupnum=B.groupnum
AND B.groupndx=1 set A.colB = B.x;
update mynewtable A INNER JOIN mytmp B ON A.groupnum=B.groupnum
AND B.groupndx=2 set A.colC = B.x;
update mynewtable A INNER JOIN mytmp B ON A.groupnum=B.groupnum
AND B.groupndx=3 set A.colD = B.x;
alter table mynewtable drop column groupnum;
select * from mynewtable;
Aquí está el resultado:
