You need to get the calendar data to iCal (.ics) format. In linux you can use Kpilot or Jpilot to do that. In windows you can buy a program called DIMEX or first synchronize the data with Outlook, and export from there. There might be other options too.

Beware though, GPE Calendar gets awfully slow if you import a lot of data to it. I have 7 years of events imported and day view takes several seconds to show. There is a bug report filed, but no word on when it might be fixed.
