Apart from just biting the bullet and moving it over the WAN, there are a couple of options.
If you're migrating everyone on the source server, and you can have enough downtime, then consider shutting down the server and putting it on a truck. (usual caveat - make sure you have solid backups)
One I like, and have used, is to have the users move most of their email into a local PST, moving their mailbox to the new server, then having them move their mail back. This has the least downtime, but you need to be sure you're backing up those local PST files.
An alternate to this is to exmerge the user's older mails into a set of PST files, then ship the disk or a bunch of DVDs to the target server, move the user mailboxes over the WAN, then upload the exmerged PST.
