Well, after receiving no replies I reinvented the wheel (not too hard in
this case).  I figured I'd post the answer for anyone else to use, and so
it would be in the archives.

The SmartList archive feature numbers all of its stored messages. This
program simply cycles through each of these and appends them to one
big file. Once this is run, a simple "arch <listname> <mboxfilename>"
command will create the archive.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
#
open (OUT, ">out.mbox") || die ("Error opening OUT $!\n");
#
foreach $i (1..2590) {
   open (IN, $i) || die ("Can't open infile $i  $!\n");
   print OUT <IN>;
   print OUT "\n";
   close (IN);
  print "$i ";
}
close(OUT);
print "\nDone!\n";
#
# END

I hope this helps someone...
