So now I have to move my sites to a new server and I'm trying to avoid having all these messages re-downloaded by POP clients.

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration#POP3_migration explains this.

The mail is stored in Maildirs - a sample file: 1280409166.23580.foo:2,S

If I move this to server "bar" would renaming the file to 1280409166.23580.bar:2,S prevent this somehow?

That can only make things worse.
