a good toolkit for doing this is here:

http://www.padl.com/OSS/MigrationTools.html

there's a config file which you modify to specify target LDAP server,  
base DN, and various other details for each import.  one good way to  
use them is the following:

1. generate NIS maps (yes, i know, yuck) for the users you're importing.
2. run the PADL tools to generate a big LDIF of all the users.
3. import the generated LDIF.
