I don't know what formats the GPE-contact program will accept as import, but abook will export to the following formats:

      a -       abook   abook native format
      b -       ldif    ldif / Netscape addressbook (.4ld)
      c -       mutt    mutt alias
      d -       html    html document
      e -       pine    pine addressbook
      f -       gcrd    GnomeCard (VCard) addressbook
      g -       csv     comma separated values
      h -       allcsv  comma separated values (all fields)
      i -       palmcsv Palm comma separated values
      j -       elm     elm alias
      k -       text    plain text
      l -       wl      Wanderlust address book
      m -       spruce  Spruce address book
      n -       bsdcal  BSD calendar


and will import the following:

      a -       abook   abook native format
      b -       ldif    ldif / Netscape addressbook
      c -       mutt    mutt alias
      d -       pine    pine addressbook
      e -       csv     comma separated values
      f -       allcsv  comma separated values (all fields)
      g -       palmcsv Palm comma separated values


I recently exported my abook addresses to a single .vcf file I then imported to Evolution.   It took about 5 seconds and worked perfectly.
