Well, it's hard to export nonexportable signatures since that defeats
the purpose :)

Here is one way.  First make a backup of your keyrings, just to be
safe, then:

1) Delete all keys on your old keyring except the ones you want to
   keep.
2) cat oldkeyring.gpg newkeyring.gpg > ultimatekeyring.gpg
3) Install 'ultimatekeyring.gpg' as your pubring.gpg.
4) gpg --update-trust
