Wishful thinking?
Technically not possible as the database structure is never the same BUT. There is an incentive for the developers of any software to increase their market share by easing up the migration of prospective client into their product. Thus they develop special tools specifically designed for that purpose.
A quick Google search yielded this for MyBB 1.8 :

Not sure if it's free nor if it's working as I don't use neither one of them, but you might like to look into it.
