This is what it took me to migrate from WordPress to Jekyll:

• Import blog using the wordpressdotcom importer.
• Use Disqus WP plugin to export comments into Disqus.
• Generate static pages (include Disqus code in Jekyll template).
• Add search functionality.
• Add personal pages (about/search/rss).

Done! (A preview is available here.)

Update:

• Adding tags was a lot more effort. A little help from this gist saved the day.
• Adding pages for year, month and day was a ton more effort. I modified archive.rb from josegonzalez and also customized his _layout/archive_*.html
• Added an error handler with some JS to show my own custom error page.
