Google "qemu-img convert" input raw or qcow output vmdk. It's not generally hard to do. Trickest thing is removing PV-type or vmware tool drivers.
I've moved the same disk image from xen-server to vmware server, then vmware esxi and then to smartos/kvm. I had to revert the last transfer back to vmware as I had some performance issues I couldn't figure out in the time I had allocated and I haven't had time to try it again. Can also be a pain moving the disk images around as qemu-img will only run on linux AFAIK. Disk clone with a clone boot tool can also work. If it's a simple setup may also be faster just to build an new vm.
