There IS an import function for both bookmarks and address
books. It IS unfortunate that it won't import
addressbooks directly from Communicator (you have to EXPORT the
addressbook to an ".ldif" file, and IMPORT it as text), but it
does work.
And while they don't merge, they do appear in a clearly marked
folder.
