Take a look at:
http://acs-wiki.andrew.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Cyrus/Backup
http://acs-wiki.andrew.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Cyrus/ReconstructMailboxes
The format of mailboxes.db used to be set when compiling, but is
configuration-option in later versions.  If "db" also dependent on which
BerkeleyDB you have.
In short, dump to text on the old machine and import from text on the new
is the way to go.
