Converting to Maildir basically is a simple thing:
 o set up qmail-popup/checkpassword/qmail-pop3d as usual
 o stop qmail
 o run convert-and-create (http://www.qmail.org)
 o change the default delivery instruction in you qmail rc file to
   "./Maildir/" and change any .qmail files accordingly if they exist
 o start qmail

Short answer: no.
Long answer: before qmail-pop3d, run mbox2maildir (http://www.qmail.org)
to stuff the mbox into a Maildir for qmail-pop3d to work on.

Sort of. qmail doesn't use them.
