In theory, yes, though I've found the method to be less than robust.

On the PC version of OE, you'll need to go to File > Export and save the
address book as a text file (comma separated values).

Transfer this CSV file over the to the Mac (you could e-mail it as an
attachment). On the Mac, launch OE and go to File > Import > 'Import
contacts from a text file'.

This should import your data across, though you may need to play around with
the options to get it to work correctly.

HTH,
