here's what I've found:

I moved my MBPro keychain to my MacPro.
I double-clicked the keychain I moved and it loaded via Keychain  
Access as expected.

I can select the 62 secure notes en masse and copy/paste them into the  
keychain I already started using on the MacPro.

However, for each of the 62 items, I am queried for my password.

  Since both keychains are named "login.keychain", I just renamed the  
one I moved and will access the secure notes as needed.
