If you mean move list1, list2, etc. from the old server to the new
server which hosts lista, listb, etc. so that all lists are now hosted
on the new server, then yes, it can be done fairly easily.

If you mean combine list1 on the old server with list1 on the new
server so that list1 on the new server then has membership and
archives equal to the union of the separate lists, then it is much
more difficult.

Again, it depends on which scenario, but in any case, it is not
possible to do completely safely without some down time.
