I know this is a rather old thread, but I thought I would reply anyway.
When we upgraded from 2.x to 4.0 on Domino/Lotus the way I did it was:
1. Purchase a temp. 90 SRP lic. from RIM for a nominal fee of approx. $900(usd)
2. Build a second BES with the new SRP. Configure and get it running and communicating with email systems and RIM.
Tested the below steps with my handheld first.
3. Took a groups of people and performed a wipe of their current handheld data. Performed a wireless Enterprise Activation and just like that they were on the new server with all their old data.
A few gotchas;
Upgrade all BB users to roamers.Make sure your BB users synch their PIM data first and that their names.nsf has all their contacts. Memo pad does not carry over.
Also, As you add new users to the new server, be sure to delete them off the old BES. If you don't they will get a Security error on their handhelds, because the old bes is still trying to communicate with the BB's PIN
There is a way to import your bblackberry profiles over to your new server, but i elected to skip that step. It was easier to do it this way.
Hope this helps you if you have not already performed your upgrade.
Good Luck
Nate
