What you've got with your xfmail setup, as you've described it, are "mh"
type mailboxes. I have the same thing. You want to convert your "mh"
mailboxes to "mbox" type mailboxes.
The docs for Kmail talk about a conversion utility (mh2kmail) "that's
included with the source", which seems to mean cvs, as Kmail is
otherwise only available as part of the kdenetwork package.
For other means of conversion see:
http://kmail.kde.org/manual/secimporting.html (not much help)
and
man packf (this seems to be *the* utility, but I've not used it)
