Yes, when you buy vBulletin you get access to a tool called ImpEx which allows you to import all the forums, users, threads and posts from your old forum into a new vB one.

Yes, you can use Impex, I did with my forum in my signature about a year ago from SMF as well.

However, SMF uses a different password structure, so you'll have to have your members reset their passwords the first time they visit the forum when it moves to vBulletin. Mine did this without too many problems, just give them a fair warning and let them know they'll have to reset them.
