You can read the old directories with G D or G d, I think.

But you can also create an nnml group on the new system.  This will
produce an almost-empty directory.  Empty it completely, then copy the
messages from the old directory to the new directory.

Then do M-x nnml-generate-nov-databases RET or M-x
nnml-generate-nov-databases-1 RET.
