You would need a program, or set of programs/scripts, to

1) cut each mail message out of the Unix mailbox file

[pretty easy to do; just do a regexp search for the message delimiters]

2) append it to the correct file

[also pretty easy to do; just do a regexp search on the headers and use
whatever language's equivalent to alists to append to the correct file]

2a) possibly convert it to BABYL before appending

[not to difficult; translate the -to-babyl code from rmail.el]

3) get Emacs to read the files (probably call the programs via
   shell-command or something)

[somewhat more difficult; either you have to read each file manually, read
*all* files automatically, or figure out some way of telling Emacs which
files to read (the most difficult)].

Acutally, now that I think of it, it wouldn't be too difficult to write the
whole thing in emacs-lisp. And that would make step 3 significantly easier.
