Well, it appears as if I've spoken a bit too soon on this one.  I did some 
digging, and found a program called MailNavigator 
(http://www.mailnavigator.com/mailnavigator.html), that can read OE mailboxes 
and export them as an mbox.  I've downloaded it, tried it, and it works. 

When you start it up, do File->Load External Mailbox...  Point the browser 
window at the OE inbox.dbx file, normally in Documents and Settings
\currentuser\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{bunchaglorp}
\Microsoft\Outlook Express.  You should see your inbox (or whatever folder you 
loaded) contents in MailNavigator.  Then do Message->Select All, then 
Message->Save As... pick a file name and location, and select file type 
RFC822-text file... et voila, you have an mbox!
