An update on this. I filed a bug and got a reply from the maintainer:
"there is a tool now in 3.5 branch, which will upgrade the distribution 
lists
to the new format automatically. Please bug your distributor to provide
updated patches soon."

I asked if maybe I just missed downloading it, what is it called;
"kabcdistlistupdater, however you don't have to run it manually,
it is executed automatically on next KDE startup once it is installed.
 > Maybe it is in the repos but I am unaware. Running Kubuntu 8.04.1
I doubt it, as I commited it to SVN branch 30 minutes ago"

and on "where can I find it":
"Well, it's in the kde SVN under 
branches/KDE/3.5/kdepim/kabc/kabcdistlistupdater"

I am not guru enough to check out from svn and compile so unless I wait 
until Kubuntu updates KDE 3.5 next time I am apparently stuck with 
re-creating the lists I had.

I appreciate the quick response from the maintainer but certainly wish 
it could have been included in the upgrade and/or more easily accessible.
