it's not a quick and simple process, but yes you can.

you first decomile the q2 bsp into a map file. you then 
opne it up in radiant (ir your other preferred q3 
editor) and see if anything went screwy (architecture, 
teleporters, etc). you fix anything that went screwy AND 
retexture (this part usually taking the longest). you 
then change the entities (weapons, ammo, armor, health, 
runes, etc) appropriately. finally you recompile the map 
into a q3 bsp and enjoy.

i remember there being a utility that would convert q1 
maps to q2 with only a few steps, but it seriouisly 
fooked up the proportions, entities, and lighting.

there is no example better than observation.

correspondence.
