I don't think there is a tool/wizard built in to kmail that will import 
evolution filters. But after taking a quick look at my old evolution 
configuration it appears that evolution stores their filters in an XML file 
(this is for evo 1.4.x).

Kmail (1.7.1) stores its filters in $HOME/.kde/share/config/kmailrc which is a 
text file. What you could do is write an XSLT to convert the evolution 
filters into something that kmail understands.

Unfortunately, I only have one evolution filter so I can't supply you with an 
XSL that would be complete. If you want I could help you out with creating 
one (I know some XSL). It might take some time though as I don't have 
evolution installed and I have very few kmail filters :)

Actually, if there isn't a wizard import tool for evolution filters, maybe 
this could be a start?

I hope this answers your questions or gets you pointed in the right direction.
