You basically need to be able to node_load() the source, remove the nid
parameter from the object, remove the tid parameter from the taxonomy
data in the node object and do a node_save() to the destination.  You
can control which database to use for the node_load() and node_save() by
a call to db_set_active().

If you the source site has used specialized content types or input
formats (a.k.a. text formats) then you may need to consider that data in
the node object as well.
