Yes.

djb has documentation in the qmail tarball about migrating systems.
Basically you want to schedule some downtime and do the following:
-stop qmail-send. You can leave qmail-smtpd running, accepting mail
from the network while you do this.
-create Maildirs for all your users
-convert each user's spool mbox file to messages in their Maildir.
One of the convert-and-create scripts could combine the previous step
and this one.
-change your default delivery method to deliver to $HOME/Maildir
instead of your current method
-configure qmail-pop3d
-restart qmail-send
> Is the Mailbox system necessary to use qmail-pop3d?
Yes. It's also got many other advantages, so most qmail users use
Maildirs.
