There's not really any way to say here. I've heard of people spending up to eight hours doing this, and that sounds about right for your size of forums. As to how much the database will increase, I'm not sure. But yes, you must rebuild the database after an upgrade to vB4.

Nobody can tell you exactly how much your database will increase. On my 800K post test site, the database is now 1.4 GB and about 550MB of that is from the searchcore* tables.
