My new (to me, 126k) 2009 2.2 Tourer is clunky when reversing uphill. I guess it must be the engine /gearbox mounts?

Any idea of difficulty and cost or replacing?

I don't believe so, though it was Stage 1 tuned in 2016 before my ownership, which I believe can add to stress on the clutch.

Still feeling that it is engine/gearbox movement rather than the clutch itself.
 
I had to replace the r/h engine mount after one of the two bolts holding it secure had stripped.

They are available.
 
If it's only when reversing then it is probably characteristics of the car due to the engine mounts. (That is the official wording from Honda) There was a bulletin on this a few years ago.

I am hoping so, though the dreaded DMF could be possibly causing the problem as identified by Nath above Though it is only reverse, particularly when I load it up hill reversing. So far forward changes seem smooth enough.
