Good luck!Suggest EditsSuggest edits to the author of this answer:Doubtful. The only thing I can think of is analyzing the Tumblr backup file and the WordPress database to see if you could port the data between the two: http://www.tumblr.com/goodies
Good luck!Justin Whitaker, ConsultantTumblr does not have any robust blog importing tools. I'm hoping that's a feature they add at some point, maybe in response to competition from Posterous.
There are some sneaky ways of getting around this, though.
1) Use the snipplr.com PHP script to import from Wordpress to Tumblr via the APT. This can be hit or miss, depending on your formatting.
2) Use the Tumblrize WP plugin to cross post all of your posts.

This is a kludgy hack around the problem, but you can specifiy a Tumblr post type for each WP entry, so that could be useful. The plugin is supposed to keep your sites in sync, so dates, tags, etc. should carry over.
3) You can feed Tumblr your Wordpress blog via RSS. No idea how well this works, and it only allows you to select a limited number of post types (Text, Photos, etc.).
4) If you have a small number of posts (<40), you may want to do it by hand. I had one small blog that I did that with. Not the most time efficient solution, but you can select tags, dates, formats quite easily that way.
Keep in mind, none of these will bring any comments/trackbacks/etc. with them.

Look at the options in Tumblr and Ping.fm to select Facebook accounts, pages, groups, and Twitter accounts, Posterous blog, Google and Yahoo updates, etc. to share to.
Lastly, consider Amplify for sharing - with an added comment - blog posts, and pages throughout the web (I will do it with this one, from Can I migrate my WordPress blog to Tumblr? ) to accounts that you designate in Amplify. With Amplify you also have an each-time option to pick and choose the share options that you already installed, as well as a handy feature which allows you to highlight page sections to Amplify (share) - rather than sharing entire URL contents (pages, as-is). This is sometimes the better thing to do. Also see How does Amplify work?EditA better thing to do is Tumblr-share or Ping.fm-share your Wordpress blog.
