No
As stated in this thread also. Exported Preference Files are not compatible between Plus!Live and Plus!3. This is simply because most settings are totally different...
However. The first time you install Plus!Live, your old settings will be ported automatically to Plus!Live as far as that is possible (again, as not all settings are the same). Since their isn't a Custom Name Feature yet in Plus!Live, your custom names will not be ported over.
However, as soon as the Custom Name Feature is introduced back in Plus!Live, you could do the following:
1) Make a backup of your preferences of your currently installed Plus!Live version.
2) Uninstall Plus!Live and tick the option to also remove all your settings,
3) Install the new versiono of Plus!Live. If things are good, it will again port all the settings you had from Plus!3, hopefully including custom names.
4) Import back the preference file you've made in point 1 and import all the settings back
But this also means that in the mean time you should not remove the settings of Plus!3 (unless you also have a backup of those preferences, but then again, you still need to install Plus!3 in that case to put those settings back in the registry before starting the above method).

If you haven't removed Plus!3 yet, or you uninstalled while you kept the settings, you can view the custom names in the registry. But note that the contact emails are encrypted, so it might not be that usefull:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\
<.NET Passport>\Contacts
