I saw a lot of efforts have been made about this on the wiki and the plan,
as far as I see it on the wiki page in question [1], is about to migrate
Xoops+CBB(newbb) to phpBB. (which is a forum software which seems
to meet all the requirements you kindly posted above here)

So, definitely yes, everything from users to posts must be preserved while
migrating to the new platform. Feel free to let me know if i can help you
with something else.

I guess the wiki won't be touched at first time since it is hosted on 
its own
domain and it is just linked to the website. Anyway it will have to be
centralized to the main LDAP istance, but there are some handy guides 
around. [2]
