If this is in the OS X Contacts application, export the list as a Contacts Archive. You can then move the resultant file to your new computer and import the list into the Contacts applicatoin there. The same will apply to Bookmarks in Safari or Firefox; export them from the application and import them on the new system.
Regards.
If you mean, move your Address Book contacts to another Mac
Open Address Book
Do File > Export > Address Book Archive
Copy the resulting archive file to your new Mac
Open Address Book on your new Mac
Do File > Import
Locate your Address Book Archive file
Import
You can use a similar process to move your iCal calendar to your new Mac
To copy (move) your Safari bookmarks,
Open Safari
Do File > Export Bookmarks.
Copy the resulting file to your new Mac
Open Safari on your new Mac
Do File > Import Bookmarks

Try dragging the file into the Contact's app.
