So far so good.

Did you say this is alread up and running? qmail requires the queue to be on
a local filesystem; most MTAs do if I understand properly. NFS breaks all the
normal filesystem guarantees that qmail requires to be able to deliver mail
reliably.

Only that you should stop qmail-smtpd and wait for the queue to empty on the
old machine before turning off qmail completely.

No. qmail can't share it's queue at all, not even on a local filesystem.
