The short answer is yes you can transition from minilogin to EQEmuloginServer without starting over.
Since you already have a functioning server the transition should be fairly easy. Be sure to backup your database and your current emulator config files before you start changing things. Huppy wrote a guide on setting up a private server which can be found here:

That guide is based on starting from scratch so be sure to read through it before making changes. After reading through it you should have a fairly good idea where you need to start at.
One small but important change you will need to make is reversing a change you made when setting up minilogin. In the variables table you must set the LoginType to Public. Using the following sql will accomplish that.
Code:
update variables set value = 'Public' where varname = 'LoginType';
Good luck with your server.
