There are tools around, but I've never bothered with them. 
One that is frequently mentioned as working well is Dawn:

I've done it quite a few times just by dumping the address book to a 
tab delimited file, opening it in Excel to re-arrrange the columns 
and then importing the tab delimited file into a Pegasus Address

export it to a tab delimited file so that you can see what layout you 
ned for the import)
