I believe there were some minor changes made to the files for New Vegas, enough that the NV GECK doesn't like the Fallout 3 ones and vis a versa
HOWEVER, as Bethesda forbids the use of assets from one game in another (Even when both games are theirs, and New Vegas was made by Obsidian anyway) then you may struggle to find a guide on these forums as such could result in someone else breaking the rules.
There are guides (For converting 100% custom stuff made by modders), but I've never seen one on the forums, possibly for the reason above.
