If your new host won't do it for you,

Install WP at new host, as you would on any host - take a note of the settings in your wp-config.php and use these on new host and new database
Copy your wp-content folder over to your new host. Depending on your user files and folders you might have to copy these over as well
Install WP-DBManager 2.20 from here, http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming.php, on both old and new hosts
back-up DB on old host, verify back-up
restore back-up on new host

As a minimum, before you start playing about with it though, make sure everything is backed up and verified.
