KAddressbook uses vcard files, which should be readable by most addressbook 
software. Depending on your setup, this might be a single file with all your 
contacts, or a directory of files. Look at the akonadi resources for your 
addressbook, in systemsettings, they will contain the locations of files.
 
Korganizer uses ical files, which are standard for mac calendar systems afaik. 
You just need to find the locations of your files, in the akonadi resources in 
systemsettings.

KMail uses common formats like mbox or maildir, which should be usable by your 
mac mail application. You can find the location in the kmail rc file, 
~/.kde4/share/config/kmailrc likely, or in the akonadi resources if you use 
kmail2.

All those files or directories can be copied, or you can just point your new 
applications to them. If your applications can not use them directly, they 
might have an import facility.

KWallet have an option to export an XML file with your data, this is the best 
option you have. Start kwalletmanager, clicke on the wallet file and use 
file->export menu.
