There is no way to do this natively in Craft through the control panel.

You could either write quick [plugin](https://pluginfactory.io) that programmatically moved the existing tags to new tag groups or write some custom SQL that did it directly against the database.

For the latter, it should be as simple as updating the `groupId` column of the `craft_tags` table with the new `groupId` for the tags you want to move.
