You could use EXMERGE to export the mailboxes, or use Outlook to save the mailboxes as PST files and import them on the new domain.
User profiles can be copied across probably without any hassle once you have created the user accounts.

Sorry to say, but exmerge only works on 32 bit os and it also only supported mailboxes to 2gb if a mailbox is bigger it just stops and you have a corrupted pst file.
You can use filter option with exmerge for exporting big mailboxes like time ranges, otherwise outlook 2003 or higher is a better option to export big mailboxes.
For importing you can create a 32 bit management workstation to use exmerge, but exchange 2010 has a management shell solution for importing pst files. here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee633455.aspxis some information about the new commands.
Ofcourse you can always use outlook to import pst files if you like
