I just did this a few weeks ago.
 
tar and gzip your vpopmail dir
tar and gzip your qmail dir
copy all the relevant info for qmail and vpopmail from /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow
save them somewhere to be transferred to the new computer
 
create the qmail and vpopmail users on the new box with the same uid/gid if possible
tar xvzf each of dirs to their proper locations
run make setup check from the qmail dir
reinstall the latest versions of vpopmail, qmailadmin, and sqwebmail
 
Be Happy.
 
I don't think vpopmail/qmail supports oracle yet, I would like it if it did eventually but don't need it now.
Probably wouldn't be too hard to port from mysql.
