I've done this, and it's pretty straightforward.

mail files are compatible with Unix mailbox, except
they have a data file that gives message lengths etc.
So, if you have lines starting with 'From', it
will be confused when rebuilding indexes. (I can't
remember if I had to rebuild the index files.)

bookmarks are a HTML file (bookmarks.html on linux)
preferences are a javascript file (liprefs.js and preferences.js)
Both can be copied across/manually patched.

They are under \program files\netscape\navigator\username
on WinXP and ~username/.netscape on linux.

I don't know where the filters are, but they are 
probably flat files too.
