Yes you can just move the files. But a recent upgrade to Spamassassin changed the 
format of the Bayes database (I think it was 2.60), so you may find you have to delete 
them and start again.
If you have folders containing known spam and known non spam (ham) you can use 
sa-learn to populate a new database quite easily  (see man sa-learn)
