Thunderbird can read VCards, but it can't seem to import them.  Usually 
you pick them up off of mail messages.  (I don't usually use them, so my 
memory may be a bit fuzzy.)

Try attactching the VCards to an e-mail message sent to yourself, and 
then read that message with Thunderbird.  Each VCard should show up with 
an option to "Add to Address Book".  Click it, and you should be on your 
way.

I wouldn't try mixing LDIF files between Evolution and Thunderbird.  I 
tried that once, it was not pretty.

Good luck,
Rich
