What may be easier is to copy the contents of the custom fields in vBulletin to the default ones in XenForo via a My SQL query.
The reason for those fields being custom ones is that I for a couple of years ago migrated to vBulletin from a custom forum that I had developed myself. Looking in the rear mirror maybe I should have used the default fields in vBulletin.What may be easier is to copy the contents of the custom fields in vBulletin to the default ones in XenForo via a My SQL query.
The thing is, those default fields are called in lots of templates so removing them may cause template errors. I'm not sure, I haven't tested it.
But, the thing is, those fields - they're all default ones in vBulletin, aren't they? Why did the end up being "custom"?
If they are the default ones, the data will automatically copy over to the XenForo ones.

The suggestion to move the location information to the default field instead of having it in a custom field, sounds like a very good idea to me. I really don't want to get rid of any fields. Maybe just hide the from the members to see. Is that possible? I didn't find any settings to that in the options area.
I read it that he wanted to do the query to move the contents, but keep the vBulletin custom fields and hide them..Custom fields can be hidden. But those 3 fields are not custom. Those are "integrated" user fields that do not have a "hide" option. But they can be manually removed with template edits.
Right now I think it is location and gender that needs to be moved when the import from vBulletin is completed.If you end up with duplicate fields then a query is possible. Here is an example:
