You can create a script that will use ipa-adduser command or use 
ldapmodify command and follow the standard syntax.
If you are going to migrate passwords you can pass the user password 
attribute in LDIF in clear text and the DS plugins will do the right 
thing (freeIPA 1.2 or later).

You need to create a script that will use the data you exported as the 
input to ipa-adduser (and other ipa-* commands) or as input to 
ldapmodify command.
