You should just have to copy /var/spool/imap, /var/imap and /usr/sieve
(or whatever you've called them) into the appropriate locations on the
new server.  Reconstructing the mailboxes *may* be necessary, but I
doubt it.

Caveats:

You'll probably want to copy the data in a fashion that makes copies of
files which are hard-links (singleinstancestore, sieve?), otherwise
these links will be broken as the inodes are sure to change.
