Copying the .index file will only work if the folder has the exact same mails, 
and if the disconnected IMAP account has the same syncronisation state.
So the "dimap" folder of KMail needs to be copied as well.

Furthermore, the information about the tags is stored in the KMail config file 
kmailrc, at least the tag section of that also needs to be copied.

I'd recommend copying the complete kmailrc and all of KMail's data.

Synchronizing tags with the IMAP server is not yet possible, unfortunately.

Filtering by tags will be available in KDE 4.4, yes. I don't know any way to 
export the tags right now.

Please use the kdepim-users list for further questions about KMail or Kontact, 
this is a developer list only.

Regards,
Thomas
