No, this is not strictly possible.   You would need to do this manually, 
which is not a big deal, but can be tedious.   The steps would be 
something like this:

1. Review account to be "moved", taking note of aliases, redirect / 
autoresponder options and AV-SPAM options (if applicable).   Note those 
settings to be copied / pasted into the new target account.

2. Via shell, copy the mailstore (user's mbox & mail directory) to a 
safe location outside the users space.

3. Using BlueOnyx, delete the user out of the outgoing vsite, then 
create the user in the new vsite.

4. Copy across the alias/redirect/autoresponder and AV-SPAM settings 
from step 1.

5. Copy in the mailstore from step 2.

Obviously, that's a pretty high-level overview.   But you should get the 
idea.
