There is documentation in /usr/share/doc/mailman-*/INSTALL.REDHAT which
tells you the mapping of old directory locations to new directory
locations.
Because both FC2 and FC3 both shipped mailman 2.1.5 you should be able
to just copy your data and queue files over to the new location. In
addition you'll want to copy over your mm_cfg.py file.
I think the following minimal set of changes will get you on your way
Directory Mapping:
/var/mailman/archives --> /var/lib/mailman/archives
/var/mailman/data --> /var/lib/mailman/data
/var/mailman/lists --> /var/lib/mailman/lists
/var/spool/mailman/qfiles --> /var/spool/mailman
File Mapping:
/var/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py -->
/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py (sym linked from /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py)
/var/mailman/data/adm.pw --> /etc/mailman/adm.pw
/var/mailman/data/creator.pw --> /etc/mailman/creator.pw
/var/mailman/data/aliases --> /etc/mailman/aliases
