Sure you can convert them, even without a sweat (well... a bit of transpiration is always possible
)...
Maybe you did seach, maybe you didn't, but this question was already asked many times before though (a long long time ago)... some quick found examples:
Can I convert MSN chat log to plus! format?
converting msn logs to Messenger Plus logs
And the Half-Sticky Post about it, explaining it in great detail, is located here:

have fun converting
PS: there is no "convert everything in one go" utility though, so you will need to convert them one by one by opening/saving them. And because the MSN Messenger XML logs are saved per contact, and usually people save their Plus! txt logs per date, you will have to split/copy/paste the appropiate texts out of the logs and order them yourself.

As Sunshine explained, you can enable and disable both MSN Messenger logs and Messenger Plus! logs as you like...

If you move the MSN Messenger logs to there, you wont be able to open them anymore from within MSN Messenger (and of course also not from within Messenger Plus!, as Plus! doesn't reconize them).
If you want, you can edit your MSN Messenger preferences and point the log directory to the same directory which Plus! uses though. But I wouldn't recommend that for many reasons...

Anyways, for all your questions regarding converting the logs:
CookieRevised's reply to "convert xml logs to txt plus-like logs"
PS: For the other way around (converting Plus! logs to MSN Messenger XML logs), this is almost impossible since not all the information, needed to create an MSN Messenger XML log, is present in a Plus! log. Eg: contactnames can be shortened for starters)
