There is a tool available to help going the other way, migrating from Geronimo to WAS. See http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0804_stelzer/0804_stelzer.html. Jacek is right, you'd have to manually port the EAR to Geronimo, and add the appropriate Geronimo-specific deployment plans. GEP can help. After you port your EAR to Geronimo, you should be able to keep both the WAS- and Geronimo-specific deployment plans in the EAR so that it may be deployed on WAS or Geronimo.
