Yes, you can copy your favorites to a form of removable media, then simply copy them to your Mac hard drive and drop them into safari's bookmark pane.

In case you didn't know favorites on XP are under:

Root:/documents and settings/yourusername/favorites/

What you do is first export your favorites from IE to an html file, put it on a CD or USB drive, then import it into Safari.
