Connect the two by either Firewire or ethernet and copy them over. If you wanted to copy them from the iPod then Senuti will do it.
Remember, once you copy your library to the Mini, you can use it as a shared library, accessible over the LAN from your MBP. (and remove the library entirely from the MBP to free up space) Managing two separate libraries is a pain, so go the sharing route from now on.
You can connect the two using Firewire target disk mode (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583). I used this a few days ago and everything went smoothly and quickly. Good luck.
