You will have to export all sites/users with cmuExport (raqbackup works well for this) and cmuImport everything back into the new server. Not too bad a process. Worked pretty well for me.

Jeff is on the right track.  As with the move from BlueQuartz (on CentOS 
4) to BX 5107R (on CentOS 5), there are far too many dependencies and 
integrations to offer a reliable "upgrade" process.  That's not to say 
that it can't be done.  If you've got plenty of time to kill and don't 
mind experimenting with the box and its data, you may well be able to 
get it done.  But I wouldn't recommend it.  And the BlueOnyx team 
doesn't recommend it, either, so I guess that puts me in pretty good 
company.  :)

Regarding your other question on list imports, your mailing lists should 
import as Mailman lists.
