If you use one of these importers, this will happen:

Pfsense and OPNsense are too different than a few years ago. You better start new or you will always have a partially broken setup.

But you should be able to export CA and private keys as well as other X509 certificates from pfSense and import them into OPNsense then.

Should not be hard to migrate just a lot of manual work.

Its better if you do re-implement everything manually, due to 2 reasons
1. Learning, so you get used to OPN vs PF
2. To have everything working correctly

If you try to push your way via some kind of random importer you may end up with partially broken setup and than be in cycles of trying to FIXIng it.
So its better to do it right the first time.
