Just export your contact list into a file by doing this from your old account:
(Main Messenger window)
Contact \ Save Contact List... -> (Select where to save your contact list).
And import the list into your new account:
(Main Messegner window)
Contact \ Import Contacts from a File... -> (Select where you save your contact list).
That's all
By the way, you need to re-group your contacts because Messenger does not store grouping information in the contact list file.
